This winter, thousands of families in temporary accommodation will get urgent help - with an £84 million boost to prevent homelessness.

This means more than £900k for Southwark and £500k for Lewisham to support local children and families.

Labour is helping ease the financial pressure too many parents are under.

The evidence is clear - 20mph zones save lives.

In London, they’ve cut deaths and serious injuries by 34% and child fatalities by 75%.

That's why we need to see more 20mph areas.

Crofton Park Library is getting some well-deserved TLC, with improvements paid for from @LewishamCouncil's community infrastructure funds. But note the closure in early September (before new, longer opening hours after that!) 🙂

[Ladywell Live @LadywellLive]

Lewisham’s planning enforcement team has issued a temporary stop notice halting all activity at the Malyons Road ‘garage site’ for 56 days after repeated complaints that deliveries by articulated lorries disrupt traffic and put pedestrians at risk. https://t.co/BJntNoGEFY

I support the @euromove campaign for the UK to re-join Erasmus+ and am glad the Government has agreed to work towards association to the programme.

Our young people should have access to the same mobility and opportunities as our European neighbours.

[Laura Cunningham @LauraLewisham]

Come and say hello to Ladywell and Brockley Labour team at our stall at Hilly Fields Fayre today and find out what we are doing in the community.

[Lewisham Labour @lewishamlabour]

Last night Cllr Mark Jackson and Cllr Yemisi Anifowose moved a motion on gambling reform.

Lewisham have now joined a coalition of over 40 other councils calling for urgent reforms to tackle the harms caused by gambling and to restore decision making powers to local authorities.

(1/2) I’m not opposed to the principle of assisted dying.

But until the vast majority of disabled people support the legislation, I cannot support it.

Let’s fix our NHS, social care and wider society first, and then consider this topic again when the time is right.

[Vicky Foxcroft 💙 @vickyfoxcroft]

Amazing news - Douglass House Project, Lewisham Hospital and the Ladywell Unit have received major funding for repairs and upgrades! Great to see the Government’s £750m NHS investment making a real impact locally.

We are investing to get Britain building again.

The biggest cash injection for social and affordable housing in 50 years.

Labour is investing in Britain’s renewal.

"It’s an incredible privilege to be awarded an OBE, and I’m truly honoured to be recognised in this way. Lewisham has been my home for over 40 years. It’s where I’ve raised my family and built my life.

[Christine Counsell @Counsell_C]

Excellent! That’s my brilliant colleague - Steve Mastin - no one teaches teachers how to tell stories better. 😍The very essence of professional development and ITE in the humanities, and the main power tool of #OpeningWorlds. Lovely to picture all the ELPers enjoying OW stories!

[Carers Week @carersweek]

This #CarersWeek, with our theme focussed on ‘Caring About Equality’, we are calling for greater and much-needed action in support of the UK’s millions of unpaid carers.

Write to your MP and ask them to support Carers Week
