As a Merton councillor, I'm ashamed that relative child poverty in @Siobhain_Mc's constituency has been static for a decade at around 4-in-10 children. I can't imagine the sense of failure she and her @MertonLabour colleagues must feel ...

Honoured to be re-elected to lead the largest ever group of Liberal Democrat councillors on Merton Council. We do this to bring change to the place we live. You don't need to be elected to do that, it's a means to an end. It gives you more opportunities, another means to campaign

Merton deserves better: better services, better value for money, and a council that actually listens to residents.
Our plan for Merton focuses on delivering what matters most to local people.

Residents & businesses tell us they often struggle to get help from the Council when they need it.
Our plan for Merton includes fixing the Council’s ‘front door’, so it's quickly & easy to access services, both online & in-person.

Our plan for a Safer and Cleaner borough will focus on getting the basics right, ensuring your Council Tax funds visible improvements.
This includes restoring proper community policing and introducing fixed-schedule street cleaning.

Merton Labour spent £230k of public money upgrading two offices used by Labour councillors.
At a time when families are struggling with the cost of living, that tells you everything about their priorities.

Merton's Labour Council talks about the cost-of-living crisis, but their choices tell a different story.
Residents are being squeezed from all sides, and something has to change.
The Liberal Democrats will deliver a fairer & more affordable Merton👇

Criterion Capital are rushing out ‘no fault’ eviction notices to tenants across Merton before it’s made illegal next month.
I called out their underhand tactics in parliament and asked Labour & Tories to hand back the £100,000+ in donations they’ve received from owner Asif Aziz.

At 3pm today Wimbledon police station’s front counter closes to the public. Mitcham’s is already closed.
@PaulKohlerSW19 handed in a petition of nearly 4000 signatures yesterday from concerned Merton residents.
Back your local Lib Dem team this May for a fresh start for Merton.

Tomorrow, Wimbledon Police Station will close to the public.
This is a real & worrying loss for our community.
I've just handed in a petition signed by nearly 4000 residents, asking the Mayor & @MertonLabour to think again.

Tonight is Merton Council's annual budget meeting.
Here's an explainer on what to expect & how, contrary to Labour's spin, council tax is going up by 2.5% & how Merton will get £24m less in government funding over coming years in their 'fair funding' for Merton.

Did you know the Northern Line gets the most complaints for tube noise? So we asked TfL to come to South Wimbledon to talk to local residents about what they're doing to reduce it.

Bus services are critical for my constituents - in some cases they're the only public transport options available.
Following the recent announcement from operator Go Ahead, I've written to @SadiqKhan, asking for guarantees about the future of local bus services.

We’re holding @MertonLabour to account at tonight’s council meeting on their confusing claims to have ‘saved’ Merton’s police stations, and their failure to challenge the imminent closure of both Wimbledon & Mitcham stations to the public.

Today teams were out across Wandle ward, speaking to people about local and national issues - including the closure of the front counter at Wimbledon Police Station, parking, flytipping, and potholes - as well as the state of the world!

Today is 100 days until the local elections here in Merton.
We're fighting for a fresh start for our borough - the place we chose to call home.
