We guess LibDem campaign in Rotherhithe didn’t go as well as they expected. Labour lost two councillor to the Green Party

Congratulations to @lb_southwark for the new bench in Southwark Park, located next to the cafe, the design and spot is great to enjoy the view of the lake and wildlife.

It's time to vote

hi, @lb_southwark Any chance someone can fix this community installation in The Blue. The lights were designed to make this narrow alley more friendly & deter antisocial behaviour. It's hard to say if it's working nowadays. Otherwise, it'd be a waste of public money

@zoekennedy Though it shouldn’t be the responsibility of volunteers. Lovell Properties built it, @lb_southwark granted the licence & the “associated hard & soft landscaping” should have included maintenance of public spaces. And where’s the community space promised ?

@WISE16 This is the sort of thing that volunteers do well, but the funding for volunteers has stopped and it means our civic spaces look bad.

This is a housing development in Southwark Park Rd where people moved in over the last few years. As in other small projects, the green spaces are in need of TLC, with light feature broken, loss of plants & the "been under offer for months" commercial unit. What do you think?

Hi, @lb_southwark & @TfL We noticed cars park in this end of Wilson Grove SE16 by the cycle way. Needless to say they may affect the view of upcoming traffic and cyclists. This photo was taken a few days ago though it's a recurrent parking spot.

The things that matter most are often the things we forget to prioritise. Join us for Meaningful May and make the most of each precious day 🌤️ Get your calendar here 👇 actionforhappiness.org/meaningful-may #MeaningfulMay

@MetCC Trying but the message option doesn't work

@WISE16 Good afternoon, please could you send us a DM? twitter.com/messages/compo…

Swapping batteries illegally? Whatever this guy was doing outside Canada Water station, it didn't seem quite legal. @forestbike_uk @MetCC

The photo only shows the moment traffic started moving after a few cars and even a lorry occupied the cycle lane southbound. (unfortunately I stopped the video by mistake when stopped to record it)
