We were delighted to welcome the Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy to Merton this morning following Labour’s outstanding local election result.

Not only did Labour hold Merton Council - we increased our majority, with one of our gains right here in Wimbledon.

Sir Keir thanked local campaigners and volunteers for their hard work in securing a Labour victory for our community and helping deliver another strong result for residents across Merton.

Tomorrow, Merton votes.

Labour is already delivering locally - and we want to keep building on that progress.

💷 Keeping Council Tax lower than neighbouring LibDem boroughs
🧹 New free bulky waste collections & pop-up tips protected
🛡️ Investing in safer communities
🌿 Improving parks & green spaces
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Protecting local services

There is always more to do, but Labour has a positive plan for our borough and a record of getting things done locally.

If you want that work to continue, please vote Labour tomorrow.

Out on the doorstep across Wimbledon over recent days - listening to residents and hearing a strong sense of pride in our area.

There’s real support for what’s being delivered locally - and Merton Labour is focused on building on that after 7 May.

From 1 May, renters benefit from stronger protections against rogue landlords, and councils like Merton have more power to enforce the Labour's Renters’ Rights Act.

02/05/2026

If Labour is re-elected, we’ll keep delivering for Merton - cleaner streets, keeping council tax down, while continuing to invest in our communities.

I’ve seen that first-hand as a local resident, and I want to help build on it.

On 7 May, I’d be proud to represent our area alongside Cllr Eleanor Stringer - please use both your votes for us.

🧵 A reminder of our promises to the people of Merton - things we are already delivering as a council and will continue to improve.
