From the website for the new 'Elephant Quarter' build-to-rent flats on the old E&C Shopping Centre site. 37 minutes to walk 3 miles to King's Cross?! Or 4 miles in 50 minutes to Canary Wharf... https://t.co/TccdYBoiPb

Today, on the 9th Anniversary of the London Bridge Attacks:

We remember those who lost their lives, those injured & traumatised

We remember the heroism

We continue to hold on to hope, unity and compassion over fear, division & hatred

Southwark Council has applied to itself for permission for advertising billboard at Old Kent Road + Mandela Way corner, visible to traffic coming off Bricklayers Arms flyover. Certain types of advert would be banned. Will new regime still want to proceed? https://t.co/m32Lt4WUnC

Cllr McAsh sets out 7 priorities for new administration:
- a borough we can afford
- serious action on climate
- tackling the housing crisis
- a safer Southwark
- clean & green streets
- defending Southwark's interests
- a council that listens & residents can genuinely shape

This letter from Neil Coyle MP (deliberately?) spells the name of the new Southwark Green leader incorrectly

[Neil Coyle @coyleneil]

I have severe concerns about the incoming Coalition in Southwark and whether it will focus on community safety and housing needs. I suspect it’ll McCrash and burn. Time will tell.

[SE1 - @se1.news on Bluesky @se1]

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.
