London's Olympic legacy - it's going to cost £411.1m to fix fire safety defects in the East Village housing in the Olympic Park. For residents in these homes (many of them shared owners sold an 'affordable' housing product), it has been years of misery with no end in sight
Despite receiving a huge pay rise last year it is depressing to see how few #Lambeth councillors attended compulsory training, particularly in critical areas such as child safeguarding: https://t.co/VnDUJpBPyi

The answer is clear: give tenants more power, both on their estates and on the national stage. That would be a more important contribution than regulators and ombudsmen—with their high bar for investigation and slow timelines—can ever be

Just outside reflecting on today and the past few weeks. Shamin and I are really disappointed to not have been chosen to represent Gipsy Hill Ward. We are determined that this will not stop us representing our community and giving a voice to those who need support.
