It is time for Southwark Labour to follow the lead of Hammersmith and Fulham Council by apologising to its tenants for mould and damp.
Southwark Liberal Democrats used official levers at a council meeting on Tuesday evening to recommend the Labour cabinet reverse cuts to the vulnerable in its draft budget.
The Liberal Democrats have called for Boris Johnson to be placed on gardening leave and removed from Number 10 while the Metropolitan Police investigate the numerous rule-breaking parties that took place.
Medway Liberal Democrats are shocked but unsurprised by Council Leader Alan Jarrett's comments at January's full council meeting. He failed to mention the climate emergency in his speech, when pressed on its absence, he said 'Putting [climate change measures] in place, it's not like flipping a switch, it's going to be a long process.' This is another example of this Conservative administration not giving the climate emergency the priority it needs.
This year I've found that January has flown by, have you? I ask because it feels like it was just yesterday that I shared on social media that my family and I would be committing in 2022 to try and be even more green in our choices, and now it's almost the end of the month! Surely I can't be the only person bemused by this?
Next month, Bedford Borough Council is giving away 5,000 trees for local residents, businesses, schools and community groups to collect and plant in their local areas.
