There was SO much excitement and squealing at the opening of the new outdoor learning space at Haberdasher's Crayford Primary School this morning - and that included the staff!

Standing there brought back memories of my own childhood spent outdoors (even though it so many decades ago!) with endless laughter, making up games that lasted all afternoon, and those very first playground friendships. Mind you, it was usually quite a bit warmer where I grew up!

Weather aside, as Mayor, I was so proud to assist with its official opening together with Daniel Francis MP for Bexleyheath & Crayford.

Some of the most meaningful learning doesn't happen at a desk; it happens when children are side-by-side, sharing discoveries, exploring together, and letting their imaginations lead the way. It gives our youngest pupils the confidence and independence to thrive, laugh, and truly fall in love with learning from day one.

A project like this doesn’t just appear overnight, so thank you and congratulations to everyone who poured their time, care, and hard work into making this dream a reality. You have created an incredible space that will shape happy memories and lifelong friendships for generations of children to come.

Thank you to headteacher Kate Ellis for inviting me.

We had such a fun evening at the Diabetes UK Bexley Support Group Quiz Night held at The White Cross Inn tonight.

Some brilliant questions, some silly ones, plenty of laughs, and most importantly, vital funds raised for such an important cause.

Well done to The Great Escapers who won. High five to our team for doing SO much better than we anticipated. And a massive congratulations to Ben and the team for organising!

There were SO many fabulously sparkly and colourful dancing kings and queens at the Civic last night - Bexley certainly knows how to embrace an ABBA theme in true style!

I want to say a massive thank you to each and every one of you for supporting my fundraiser. Your presence and generosity directly support my three wonderful mayoral charities: Crossroads SEL, Diabetes UK Bexley Support Group, and Trulybeloved: a children’s charity. A special mention too to our visiting Mayor from Dartford and Deputy Mayor from Maidstone, who added extra bling!

It was an incredible evening with some of the West End's finest leading artists performing - Nikki, Claire, Abi and Ben, as the song says - thank you for the music!

An evening like our ABBA tribute night doesn’t just come together by magic, and I need to say thank you to a number of vital people.
First and foremost, a huge thank you to Nick O'Hare, without whom this fundraiser simply would never have happened.

Thank you to everyone who so kindly donated such generous prizes for the raffle, and to my brilliant team supporting me—Louise, Paul, Julie, Jane, Tina and Alison, and the wonderful Civic Offices staff, who worked behind the scenes. And a very special thank you to Justin Moore for your support and embracing the theme and adding a rockstar twist!

The food from Simply Souvlaki and drinks from Silver Fox Boozy Box were enjoyed by everyone!

We raised a fantastic amount last night - THANK YOU!

Is there such a thing as too many sequins, or does the limit simply not exist? Asking for a friend (and definitely not because I’m currently blinding myself in the mirror) ✨🪩

Can’t wait to see all you Dancing Kings and Queens light up the floor tonight at my ABBA-tribute charity fundraiser!

It was my absolute pleasure - both as Mayor and as a fellow South African - to declare the new premises of Uncle Beef Ltd officially open today.

I get to attend many civic and community events, but I can honestly say this is the very first where my mouth started watering a week in advance!

Like half of London Borough of Bexley, I’ve been following Steve’s videos online over the last few months. Steve’s battle cry throughout the journey to opening today has been simple: "Keep the high street alive." And that is exactly what this is.

Taking an independent business to the next level takes guts, graft, sleepless nights, and seeing that kind of passion poured right into Crayford High Street is phenomenal for our borough.

To Steve and the whole Uncle Beef crew: baie dankie and a massive congratulations. You’ve brought unbeatable flavour to our local area and created something Bexley is genuinely proud of.

Today marked the launch of the Poppy Appeal. We attended a beautiful Dedication of the Garden of Remembrance, led by Rev Trevor Wyatt at Christ Church Bexleyheath.

A really beautiful backdrop of poppies was made by Danson Primary School.

The Royal British Legion - Bexleyheath and Welling Branch, Deputy Lieutenant David Easton, Leader of the Council David Leaf and Daniel Francis MP for Bexleyheath & Crayford, together with representatives of the police, cadets and the army attended.

Afterwards we walked up the Broadway to see various stalls and displays - like the Air Raid Shelter and replica Spitfire - and speak to representatives of the British Army and London Ambulance Service NHS Trust

Thank you to all involved and please remember to support the Poppy Appeal.

The Deputy Mayor and Deputy Mayoress officiated another citizenship ceremony recently. One of the things the Deputy Mayor always says to the new citizens is to welcome them to the family of Bexley, and by extension the family of Britain.

Although children receiving their naturalisation certificates are not required to attend citizenship ceremonies, it's always particularly lovely when families choose to bring them along to share in such a special milestone. It's wonderful to see the next generation taking part in this important moment in their family's story.

Thank you as always to Danson House / Bexley Register Office and Tariq images for making each ceremony truly special for all involved.
