Keeping watch on @WandswrthLabour at Wandsworth Borough Council.

[Wandsworth Watch @WandsWatch]

Turn your back for a moment and @WandswrthLabour line their own pockets.

@SaraLApps not only gets a pay rise of 172%, but a lump sum of over £8,000.

Sounds bad? It gets worse when you hear what they said…

[Wandsworth Watch @WandsWatch]

“So here I am, a politician with no vision.”

@CllrSimonHogg finally admits the truth.

[Steffi Sutters @steffisutters]

Really upsetting to see this. It was such a mess!

[Wandsworth Watch @WandsWatch]

What happens if @wandbc puts the wrong date on its Mega Skip flyers? This.

Unbelievable incompetence from our Labour Council this weekend. #WestPutney

[Wandsworth Watch @WandsWatch]

An example of @CllrSimonHogg’s routine dishonesty.

This photo with @SadiqKhan was taken outside the library in Roehampton Ward, not in #WestPutney Ward.

[Wandsworth Watch @WandsWatch]

Another @WandswrthLabour Cllr quits…

@MalcolmGrimston @WillSweetCllr @WandswrthLabour @wandbc Wandsworth’s government funding settlement was substantially better than any of them, but Labour still used inherited reserves to fund the budget.

Do you really regard £450,000,000 of debt as dodging a bullet?

[Wandsworth Watch @WandsWatch]

REALITY: @WandswrthLabour is increasing your Council Tax by 2%, again.

It’s only lowest because Westminster Labour are increasing by more.

❌ £4m from reserves v. Govt’s £10m.
❌ Fewer than 500 homes, none extra.
❌ Real emissions barely touched.

⚠️ BORROWING £450 MILLION ⚠️

@GhendersGraeme But that’s not what you’re actually doing…

@jackamayorcas Did you ever think that Corbyn was anything other than what he has proved himself to be?

[Wandsworth Watch @WandsWatch]

Spot on.

[CJI - Clapham Junction Insider @c_j_a_g]

Spoiler: not about the options the Council might explore to manage their assets (there might be very good reasons to dispose or acquire new assets). The concerning issue at hand is the Council’s approach to truthfulness and transparency, particularly when confronted with evidence

[CJI - Clapham Junction Insider @c_j_a_g]

About the claim that @wandbc might want to sell community assets...

@AydinDikerdem the community says no if one's worthwhat lessons time to speak to Richmond see if their people would like to see this 18 floor building

[Wandsworth Watch @WandsWatch]

It seems @WandswrthLabour’s plans to borrow millions for a huge 18 storey tower haven’t gone down well.

Local @wandbc tenants will be forced to pay in every sense.

[root71 @hugo7191515340]

#Roehampton appalling! You tear down a beloved football pitch, then audaciously reveal plans for an 18-story behemoth in its place Shameful! To blatantly ignore the needs of our youth and community like this is unforgivable. Our kids are losing precious play space .

@AntonyArth75909 🙄

[Wandsworth Watch @WandsWatch]

@putneysociety Some notable foot-dragging on this by our council.

[Wandsworth Watch @WandsWatch]

Oh hang on, the @wandbc Air Quality Action Plan 2023-2028 says it’s so important, they might get round to it by *this time next year*…

[Wandsworth Watch @WandsWatch]

Last year: “we’ll make sure residents know the effect it has on air quality and call on them to stop burning wood” @JudiG

Anyone seen the big @wandbc information campaign yet?

[Wandsworth Watch @WandsWatch]

Is that @AydinDikerdem shouting in the background?

[Peter Graham @peter_graham]

Although @wandbc could cut Council Tax, it seems @WandswrthLabour has a bad case of Dikerdemitus.

This will hit the poorest hardest. My speech to the Council last night:

[Wandsworth Watch @WandsWatch]

Not content with borrowing £367million, @AydinDikerdem wants first dibs on new @wandbc council housing to go to…

…members of Parliament. #priorities
