Wandsworth Council has announced a series of emergency measures designed to safeguard its residents and support the local community during the coronavirus outbreak.
We want people to exercise in our parks and green spaces and remain healthy and safe, however, those taking exercise, especially joggers and runners, need to act responsibly and make sure they observe the two metre rule and protect other park users.
Residents living in Nightingale ward will be able to raise issues of local concern with senior councillors and town hall officials at a special feedback session next week.
Wandsworth Council has written to TfL in a bid to get it to reverse a proposal to axe a popular bus route.
The number 19 bus runs from Battersea Bridge Road to Finsbury Park and is a well-used route connecting thousands of people every day from the borough to central and north London.
Councillor Sarah McDermott has welcomed new figures showing that 990 children are benefiting from the Government’s 30 hours free childcare offer in Wandsworth. The offer saves working families around £5,000 per year per child and saw over 200,000 children benefit nationally in its first term.
As I travel to Brussels today, I know that many people will be looking to us – the leaders of the 28 nations in the European Union – to demonstrate we are putting people first.
As you may know, sadly a few weeks ago one of our local councillors, Adrian Knowles, passed away. Adrian was a passionate local councillor, working tirelessly for residents, and also a personal friend. He will be sorely missed.
