- a safer Southwark
- clean & green streets
- defending Southwark's interests
- a council that listens & residents can genuinely shape

The Southwark Green Party and Southwark Liberal Democrats have confirmed that they intend to form a joint administration to run the borough. The council's annual meeting take place tonight in Tooley Street.
