In 2024 Lewisham's Chief Exec said that on current trends the Council would be bankrupt in 2-3 years. This year the Council will spend £22m from reserves.

There's now just £11 million in reserve but normal spending is £249m. It's time for Lewisham Labour to come clean on the Council's finances.

Lewisham requires landlords to get a licence. Our attempts to get reliable data on progress are met with waffle.

The Council claim they're developing software to find unlicensed landlords but 18 months later still no sign of it. Meanwhile tenants in the worst properties will continue to suffer.

Last February everyone in a brand new Lewisham building had to move out because of a catastrophic water supply and power failure.

People were to move back within twelve months; that's now slipped to autumn. There's no agreement on what work is insured.

A play area in Lockmead Rd has been locked since Covid. Chris Maines has contacted the Council, housing associations and the Met Police to no avail.

"For five years, children have been denied access" said Chris. "It's now an eyesore; the equipment needs to be repaired and the site re-opened."

21,910 patients waited 12 hours in Lewisham A&E in 2025. That's among the highest in the country (102nd out of 120 trusts).

What makes Britain great is its people and the values we share. We mustn't let Farage turn Britain into Trump's America.

There is no crisis we face that can't be put right by the talents of the British people. Choose hope; choose the Liberal Democrats.

In 2025 Lewisham residents reported 4,350 inconsiderately parked e-bikes. The Council did nothing with that information.

Lib Dems have called on Lewisham Council to use the data to identify where bikes are most often dumped, collect and store them at the hire companies' expense.

Lewisham's Labour Mayor is paid £88,741 for a full-time job. She's been put into the Lords (another £361 per day tax-free).

Lib Dems called on the Mayor to concentrate on her job in Lewisham and not take up a place in the Lords until the end of her term. The Mayor has rejected our suggestion.

Blackheath campaigner Jean Branch is keen to ensure pavements are well lit. Jean's been reporting street lamps that aren't working and highlighting areas that need improved lighting. That includes the tunnel under the railway at Granville Park.

Blackheath campaigner Chris Maines talking to ITV News about the new road humps on Lee Terrace and Belmont Hill. Lots of people are affected by them because they are too big.

On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust, and the millions of others killed under Nazi persecution.

We honour survivors and renew our commitment to a country where all can live and worship safely.
