🗳️It's the local elections on Thursday 7th May. Here's why @MattHartley100 @RogerMTester and @LukeWarren_97 are standing to serve as your local Conservative councillors for Mottingham, Coldharbour & New Eltham for the next 4 years

Greenwich Labour Leader Anthony Okereke is forcing through pre-election changes to hinder residents+ Opposition councillors from asking Qs & holding @Royal_Greenwich to account

He’s had 4 years of difficult Qs - this political thuggery is his response.

Joint statement 👇

Greenwich Council’s Cabinet just voted through their Play Centre cuts, including ending the current staffed Play Centre service at Coldharbour. We’ve submitted a formal challenge to the decision, which will now receive scrutiny at public hearing @ Town Hall. Date to follow!

Some good news today - thanks to the 100+ residents who responded to our letters and submitted objections, the proposed 7-unit HMO at 71 Great Harry Drive has been 𝐑𝐄𝐉𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐃 by planning officers 🎉 Thank you all! 𝐑𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭

[Mottingham Coldharbour & New Eltham ward team @MCNwardteam]

This is the last weekend for objections to Greenwich Labour’s plan to END the Coldharbour Adventure Play Centre service - please take part in the consultation and tell the Council we need to keep a STAFFED Play Centre as part of the new Community Hub 👇

Last month (during my paternity leave) my colleague Councillor @RogerMTester chaired a public meeting on need to Save the Coldharbour Play Centre service - time and again the community has made their views clear to the Council just how vital this service is. They’re not listening

[Matt Hartley @MattHartley100]

.@RogerMTester and I have been making this point all year to Labour councillors at the Town Hall - these are Play CENTRES, not just playgrounds. It’s astonishing that the Leader of the Council and Labour MP are dismissing the Coldharbour service and the work staff do easily.

We've organised a 𝐏𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐂 𝐌𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 on October 22nd 6pm - come along to support the campaign to 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐥���𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 from Greenwich Council's "review". More info contact @RogerMTester who is chairing this - details 👇

𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐫'𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐬... If they spent more of their time on running the Council, & less time fighting like ferrets in a sack, maybe they wouldn't be £15.6m overspent 3 months into the financial year https://t.co/EFuJDscp7k

There’s sadly been a new flurry of HMO applications in our ward in the last week - for 71 Great Harry Drive, 29 Lavidge Road, 872 Sidcup Rd - for details of how to object see Councillors @RogerMTester & @MattHartley100’s FB update 👇 Letters going out too

Sorry but this is 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐝 from #Greenwich Council. First Labour councillors blame Plumstead & Woolwich traffic chaos on Transport for London. Now its due to a lorry fire in… *checks notes*… Essex 🤔

These are RBG works, delivered by RBG’s contractor. 𝐀𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐞.

[Matt Hartley @MattHartley100]

🐎I'm pleased the Leader of the Council has seen sense + finally reached out to Army on this 👇 though it shouldn't have taken weeks of pressure. I really hope RBG will be much more open on the Equestrian Centre from now on. My comments on @greenwich_wire https://t.co/IraaiABi1Q

More on the news that Greenwich Council has agreed to extend its parking consultation 🎯👇 I asked Cabinet Member:

How she plans to re-build trust❓
How much opposition would mean a CPZ is abandoned❓
To stop misleading claims on parking permit costs❗️

https://t.co/O1Cea46X7D

[Matt Hartley @MattHartley100]

👀 The question no #Greenwich Labour councillor seems able to answer: how can the results of their ‘Listening phase’ in February 2025 have been used to “inform the designs” of parking plans that were drawn up…. in June 2024? 👇

[Mottingham Coldharbour & New Eltham ward team @MCNwardteam]

📺 The Police Base's future is now secure, but #Coldharbour Adventure Play Centre is still under threat from Greenwich Council's 'Play Centres Review'. Councillors @RogerMTester and @MattHartley100 have been trying to get certainty on this for local parents 👇

@RogerMTester @MattHartley100 More info here - we'll keep residents updated https://t.co/CH1dCfNpTf

[Matt Hartley @MattHartley100]

I've been contacted by lots of residents in areas affected by #Greenwich Council's parking plans. So colleagues & I have put together this 3-step 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐎𝐁𝐉𝐄𝐂𝐓 guide which we hope helps👇
