She also asked why a Lib Dem leaflet claims the same target will be met in two years. Cllr Varley could not explain the conflicting timescales, which he presumably authorised.

Pam Marum, Labour’s Housing champ, challenged the Lib Dem Council—who've missed their housing targets for the past 5 years—on how building just 500 affordable homes in five years can meet need when over 2,500 households are on the waiting list with 761 in temporary accommodation.

Wimbledon residents are benefiting from Merton Labour’s innovative “pop-up” wheelie bins, which allow households to dispose of large items in their street and immediate collection of rubbish.

Activists from Twickenham, Wimbledon, Richmond Park, Kingston & Surbiton and Mitcham & Morden canvassed in the wards of Abbey and Wandle, where voters are backing Merton’s Labour council and its efforts to reduce waste and improve the environment.

Twickenham Labour Party joined members from four other constituencies on Saturday campaigning in bright sunshine for 7th May local elections in Wimbledon.

Well, she got an answer, eventually. Of the 88 due by 31 March 2026 only 22 affordable homes were finished by the start of this year. So a month and a bit to finish 66 more to meet an unambitious target. Good luck with that.

It’s concerning to see more children getting measles. Vaccines are safe, effective and can be life saving. We’re urging all parents to check their children are up to date with their recommended vaccinations. Our country expects its leaders to stand firmly behind science to

Twickenham Labour's recent street stall in Teddington. Chilly weather, warm reception to our campaign to increase affordable housing in our borough.

Here's Pam Marum, our housing champion, presenting Twickenham Labour's affordable housing petition to London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.

Tonight at Richmond upon Thames full council meeting Pam Marum, Twickenham Labour's housing champ, asked how many affordable homes had been completed by the council. The Lib Dem vice chair didn't know and will "get back" to Pam. Deary me.

This is a big and important change. Emblematic of what Labour delivers for Britain.

Quite a lot, as it transpires.

Pam asked what proportion of London Living Rent and Shared Ownership homes go to residents with household income below £50k. The Lib Dems said they do check but gave no figures. We need answers, not deflections.

Pam Marum, Twickenham CLP housing champion was at LBRUT’s Adult Social Services , Health and Housing Committee tonight asking about Richmond’s Intermediate Housing Policy Statement.

Perhaps the council could look at curation and summarisation to increase ease and transparency?

While the data itself is comprehensive and accurate, it is difficult for non-specialists to locate and interpret. A single resident-facing webpage summarising affordable housing delivery, forecasts, and major sites would greatly improve transparency and ease of use.

Residents must navigate lengthy PDFs such as the Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) and Affordable Housing Update Report (AHUR) to find key figures, which are not presented in one accessible location.
