It’s a shame to read that the number of second homes in Wandsworth has doubled since last year.
Too many local families can’t find a place to call home.
So from next year, second homes in Wandsworth will be charged double their usual Council Tax

Last week, it was announced that children's cancer services will be moved away from @StGeorgesTrust in Tooting.
I have written to the Health Secretary alongside a cross-party group of South West London MPs to express our disappointment at the decision.

Yesterday, in Parliament I spoke of some of the harrowing stories I'd heard from those working on the frontline of this conflict in a recent trip to the region.
It is clear that this can't go on, which is why I called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Pleased to see these old phone boxes have been removed by BT. They were constantly vandalised, looked unpleasant and attracted anti-social behaviour.
Much more to do, but that’s an election pledge we’ve delivered! #Tooting
‘We’re NOT selling Battersea Library, not now not EVER!’ @CllrSimonHogg - cutting through abysmal Wandsworth Tory disinformation campaign and straight up lies.
In one of the most bizarre disinformation campaigns I’ve seen, the Wandsworth Tories have been tweeting (I blocked most of them so missed it) that we’re going to sell off libraries, club rooms & Council assets. I can only explain this as a severe case of psychological projection.
The safety of our community is my top priority as your MP. I know not everyone will feel safe walking in public as the nights get longer.
I’ve launched Safe Space, a campaign working with local businesses to offer a place of safety. See more here: https://t.co/wCYvUp4vRa
We’re transforming housing policy in Wandsworth.
We’ve now launched our new Housing and Homelessness strategy 2023-2028 and would love to hear feedback: https://t.co/JabqXMfRp8
75 yrs of propping up our public services and transport systems.
75 yrs of enriching our culture, music and palates.
75 yrs of being lied to, ignored and scapegoated.
Thank you Windrush generation for all you sacrificed and all you achieved. ❤️

Market leaders @KensaHeatPumps are connecting 3 council tower blocks in Essex to a huge array of ground-source heatpumps. This trailblazing project will slash energy costs and CO2 emissions for residents and the community - and provide solid pension fund investment returns.
As chair of Wandsworth @wandbc & @RichmondCouncil Joint Pension Fund, excited to be shown around a key green infrastructure project arising out of our £40m cornerstone investment in @OctopusEnergy Transition Fund.
Wandsworth Council is freezing your council tax this year.
Residents in Wandsworth will pay the lowest average council tax in the country.
We will charge the same low council tax and deliver better services for all.

Preparations in full swing to serve or deliver a Christmas meal to local people at Waste Not Want Not @WasteNotProject - an inspirational initiative https://t.co/yytIkRfCj3
Today, for #SmallBusinessSaturday, I visited @LoveTriPizza in Tooting Bec. I spoke to Will, the owner, about the pressures they're facing in the current climate.
This great local business has helped donate 60,000 meals to our foodbanks. A real community asset.
