Weather excellent and everyone having a great time at Progress Estate May Day celebration complete with Maypole on Lovelace Green. There until 3pm . Well done Progress Estate Mutual Aid for organising it. @CllrLindaBird @Peircey99
@CommonsLUHC @mtpennycook Great that parliament is looking into this but important to remember that there is no “subsidised” rent. Shared ownership residents pay a smaller percentage of the average market rent which will reflect the cost of building the property.

At the RBG Transport and Regen scrutiny panel with @CllrLindaBird. Great that @Se_Railway responded to pressure from us and @CliveEfford to restore hourly off-peak services from Eltham to Charing X. More work to be done though to connect Eltham residents to the Elizabeth Line

On the anniversary of the start of the war in Ukraine we must remain as resolute in our support next year as we have been in the last. If Putin prevails it will set the global agenda for this century and our children and grandchildren will pay the price
Like so many I’ve been appalled by this weeks chaotic scenes at London Bridge - myself & @MrOkereke warned @Se_Railway this would occur in October. I’ve written to @SteveWhiteRail expressing my concern about safety & the wider negative impact of timetabling changes on commuters
🧵I have written to the Transport Secretary @Mark_J_Harper following last night’s serious overcrowding incident at London Bridge station to request an urgent meeting with him. Read my letter here:
