Acre Lane Labour Councillors

Had a wonderful evening with the community at Substation Brixton, an independent climbing gym in the heart of Brixton!

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced climber, there’s something for everyone. A great opportunity to see our community in action and try out some climbing techniques.

Don’t hang about! Join the fun at Substation Brixton Climbing & Fitness Centre, SW2 5DZ—don’t miss out!

Thank you Sudbourne Road for the really positive conversations today about how we can improve our local community ❤️ 🌹

Excellent leaflet session on Kingscroft estate, Loats and Bowater tonight, followed by a game of pool in the Prince of Wales Pub on Lyham Road!

We were delighted to take Cabinet Member Cllr Cameron on a walkabout of Acre Lane to discuss the growing number of empty shops which often attract anti-social behaviour. At full council we asked that the council use our brand new powers given to us from the Labour Government to auction off their leases. This helps our local economy, supports small businesses and improves our community.

Councillor Bridson called on Lambeth at full council to work with the Labour Government to maximise our powers to revive our high streets, after 14 years of Tory and Liberal Democrat austerity.
