Raynes Park Lib Dems

While @MertonLabour tax-payer funded leaflets claim they're 'freezing Council Tax,' in reality households will see a 2.5% rise. ​Calling this a freeze is disingenuous; it bets that residents won't read the small print. thetimes.com/uk/london/arti…

Fantastic weather and a great day to be speaking to residents in both Mitcham & Morden. A lot of disappointment in Labour, locally and nationally - the mood is one for change!

Eid Mubarak! Wishing all those celebrating in Wimbledon and beyond a blessed and joyful day.

It’s the little things…

Great to knock on doors speaking to residents in Raynes Park, with many people enjoying the spring blooms appearing. A pit stop on Wyke Rd to help The Good Gym with their litter-pick on the way home and all in all a lovely evening!

Incredible work by all of Merton’s students performing at @RoyalAlbertHall last night with @mertonmusic - so many proud parents (and councillors!)

🌍♻️ The Big Plastic Count is back next week! From 9–15 March, thousands across the UK will be counting their plastic waste in the biggest people-powered investigation into household plastic use. 👉 thebigplasticcount.com #BigPlasticCount #PlasticPollution #TakeAction

Quite a few holes in Stanton Rd due to Thames Water works - Langham is also being used near the corner of Stanton to store rubble. Best to avoid the area if possible (if you don’t live there!) until 31/3 when they expect to be finished.

What are Merton Labour councillors most worried about? Sound up!

£3m of savings were pushed into Merton's budget at the last minute, with no scrutiny and huge implications for the delivery of services for vulnerable children in our borough.

🏦 Banking Hub Now Open at Mitcham Library Yesterday marked the launch of the new Banking Hub at Mitcham Library — now operating as a temporary home and run by the Post Office. For more information please visit: buff.ly/hvqwP3D

The Mayor & the Met had promised there would be at least one 24hr police counter in every borough. With Merton now losing public access to both its police stations, I spoke to @BBCLondonNews about the impact on vulnerable residents.

For those affected locally

@thameswater Do you know why several are taped off in South-West London please?

@SueWixLD Hi Sue, thanks for getting in touch. I've passed this on to the team and we'll be out to investigate. - Rianna

Hi @thameswater please could you urgently fix this dripping water fountain on Wimbledon Park road, opposite #Southfields tube station. It's wasting and the leaking water is likely to freeze and become a trip hazard.

@SueWixLD @thameswater Ours is entirely sealed up in Raynes Park. So is the one in Morden.

Head to Morden Hall Park this Friday 2-4 if you like bunting and good times. A community bunting workshop at The Stable Block 🎉

DR Bike will be down at Raynes Park station this Friday morning 20th Feb 7:30am-9:30am to mark bikes for security purposes. Come on down - just remember, no cycling in the tunnel 🚲
