Residents across Lewisham have been showing their support for the Liberal Democrat campaign to stop Brexit at next week's European Elections.

"We've been inundated with poster requests and offers to distribute leaflets all over Lewisham," says local party Chair, Peter George.

On the day Lewisham’s Cabinet votes on a new violence reduction strategy, Lewisham Lib Dems have revealed significant gaps in neighbourhood policing. This comes despite a promise by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan that all wards in London would have at least two dedicated neighbourhood PCs and a Police Community Support Officer.

Thank you to everyone who voted for Bunmi Wajero and Max Brockbank in yesterday's council by-elections.

We didn't win this time but in Whitefoot ward we finished second, well ahead of the Tories, with 20.6% of the vote, which was up on our vote at last year's council elections.

Ahead of local voters going to the polls in the Evelyn by-election on Thursday 2nd May, Lewisham Liberal Democrat candidate Bunmi Wajero has called on Evelyn Ward voters to back diversity over division in the face of Brexit.

Bunmi Wajero, Liberal Democrat candidate in the Evelyn Ward by-election, has donated and planted an Oak tree as part of the Evelyn 200 project.

Bunmi planted her tree with the help of volunteers from Deptford Folk and Trees for Cities, the groups behind the Evelyn 200 project. Their aim is to plant 200 trees to celebrate the first publication of John Evelyn’s diaries two centuries ago.

Max Brockbank, Liberal Democrat candidate for Whitefoot Ward, is calling for coordinated and imaginative action by Lewisham Council to tackle flytipping and litter in our streets and green spaces.

In the past few weeks the Lib Dem team has reported numerous flytips, to Phoenix and Glendale as well as to the council. Lewisham’s road sweepers are ideally placed to report problems that they see on their rounds, but have no easy means of alerting Phoenix or Glendale if the rubbish is on land they manage.

Welcome to the third of our monthly looks at what’s happening at Lewisham Council.
