Clapham Town Labour Councillors

05/11/2026

Slightly later than billed, it’s been a very busy few weeks for the Clapham Town team! We are delighted to update that progress is being made on removing the dilapidated telephone boxes from Clapham High Street.

There are variety of hurdles to overcome with various bodies but focused discussions are underway between telecoms companies and Lambeth Planning. This could see the number of phone boxes reduced to just three, with street trees replanted in their place. What’s not to love? We hope to have a further update soon 🌳🌳

October updates from Lambeth Labour 👇

1️⃣ WIN: We protected Lambeth’s libraries from Green Party cuts, forcing them to U-turn on their plans to reduce opening hours.

2️⃣ We condemned the divisive national Green Party policy defining Zionism as racism and called on Lambeth’s Green leadership to do the same. So far, they have refused.

3️⃣ WIN: Elected Councillor Molly Hartill in Myatt’s Fields after a positive campaign to protect Minet Library and stand up for local residents.

4️⃣ Opposing council tax hikes. We’re campaigning against Green Party plans for a record council tax increase.

5️⃣ Demanding action on anti-social behaviour. Residents are raising serious concerns about increasing ASB. We’re calling for tougher action and stronger enforcement powers.

As world leaders gather for COP31, we’re really pleased to be supporting Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP to bring together our community to hear from experts on climate and discuss what action we can take to combat climate breakdown in Clapham and beyond 🍃 🌊 ☀️

The film brings together highlights from the National Emergency Briefing, where leading UK experts set out what the climate and nature emergency means for our health, our food, our security and our economy. It also looks at the policies we need to tackle its impacts.

Our Labour government has driven real progress on the transition to clean energy, but the experts are clear that the scale of the emergency requires us to go further and faster. We have a vital role to play in building the public support that makes that bolder action possible.

Entry is free, but please register in advance as the venue has limited capacity:

📢 As world leaders meet at COP31, join your local community for a free screening of the People's Emergency Briefing at the Clapham Omnibus Theatre, organised by Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP. What’s happening with climate and nature? What does it mean for everyday life in the UK? This film brings togeth...

It’s been another busy month of advocating for residents, businesses and community groups right across Clapham Town! 🌹❤️

We’re particularly happy with one thing which might feel minor to some but does make a difference! We recently noticed that the zebra crossings had faded in a number of places across Old Town and we’re really pleased that these have now been repainted after reporting it.

There’s more to do in this area (inc the crossing near the Prince of Wales pub) but as ever, do get in touch if something needs sorting in your street.

It was lovely to catch up with Marie, Bridget and Mandish from the fantastic Omnibus Theatre in Clapham Old Town today.

We’re incredibly lucky to have such a vibrant cultural scene our doorstep, with Omnibus doing so much to bring arts and theatre to everyone in our community through a range of outreach programmes.

Do pop by to see what performances and events are on and to make use of their lovely cafe bar with an amazing sun trap garden! ☕️☀️

Many long term residents will remember this wonderful space as the Clapham Library many years ago - I met my best now mate here when I was two years old and I am still a big fan of its current occupants today!!

This weekend marks 100 days since the May elections.

Cllr Linda Bray and Cllr Patrick O’Donnell have been working for all our residents across Clapham, picking up the local issues that matter to you, while catching up with many community groups and businesses that make our area such a great place to live and work.

Lots more to do! 🌹

A huge congratulations to Bandstand Beds who have today been awarded the King’s Award for Voluntary Service by Deputy Lieutenant of Greater London (and former Clapham Town councillor), Christopher Wellbelove DL! 🪏🪴🫜

The award is the equivalent of an MBE for voluntary groups and is testament to the hard work of David Dandridge and all the volunteers.

We are lucky to have so many fantastic community-minded organisations on Clapham Common. Cllr Linda Bray and Cllr Patrick O’Donnell were delighted to pick up some locally made jams and chutney too!! ❤️

📢🗑️ BINS ARE COMING BACK

Thanks to everybody who signed our petition to bring back our bins to Clapham and Stockwell.

We’re really pleased that Lambeth Council have finally listened and some litter bins have just returned to the High Street.

However, there are still gaps across our neighbourhood and it should not have taken Lambeth Green Party seven weeks to replace them, after countless chasing.

Sign our petition now to bring the rest back!

🚨🚮 BRING BACK OUR BINS!

Several weeks ago, litter bins were removed from multiple locations along Clapham High Street and Wandsworth Road.

Since then, the local Labour councillors representing Clapham and Stockwell have repeatedly raised concerns and called for their reinstatement in full.

Despite multiple requests, Lambeth Council now says it will “not be reinstating some of the bins that were removed.”

This is not good enough. Many residents and businesses have reported an increase in rubbish in the affected areas, particularly around busy Overground and Underground stations.

We therefore urge Lambeth Green Party to reinstate all our litter bins as soon as possible to help to keep our neighbourhood clean and welcoming for all.

👉 Back our petition to help bring back our bins in the comments below!

It was great to join hardworking Labour councillors, MPs and members from across our city this weekend at London Labour Conference 2026 🌹🏙️

It was a privilege to speak on behalf of Clapham and Brixton Hill residents about much needed improvements to the Windrush line and Northern line, and to catch up with colleagues on everything from boosting affordable housing, to supporting businesses to grow.

Lots to do, especially with a new Prime Minister in office in Number 10. A special shoutout to the Lambeth crew too!!
