I noticed this water mains leak at Chaucer Drive today.
I reported it to Thames Water,

The Thames Water reference is 1011070285

The cycle hire scheme has passed Bermondsey by.
The nearest hire scheme rack is about a mile away at Tower Bridge.

Local Liberal Democrats are looking at ways of bringing the hire scheme to The Blue,
so that we can all use the bikes.

Well done to Suzanne and Vicky,
who were awarded certificates recognising their hard work and commitment to volunteering in South Bermondsey.

The awards were given by The Mayor of Southwark, Councillor Abdul Mohammed,
The scheme was organised by Volunteer Centre Southwark

 This scruffy fence in Dunton Road was becoming a real eyesore.

With some money from Bermondsey Community Council,
We got the fence taken down, and replaced with a new brick wall.
It looks much smarter now.

The paving has been tidied up too.

Southwark Liberal Democrats have announced our front bench team for the next year.
we’ve got a strong team, ready to hold the administration to account over the decisions they are making.

The full team is:

Cllr Adele Morris – Deputy Leader, Regeneration, Jobs and Affordable Homes
Cllr David Noakes – Older People, Health & Adult Social Care
Cllr Rosie Shimell – Children, Young People and Equalities
Cllr Michael Bukola – Housing Management and Community Safety
Cllr Anood Al-Samerai – Leader, Finance and Community Councils
Cllr Graham Neale – Environment and Leisure

Some time ago I asked Hyde Housing to trim this hedge,
because it was a place where criminals could hang around.

I found this photo of my bike next to it after it was trimmed.

Now local residents are telling me they feel safer,
It’s just a small change, but it’s nice to make changes for the better.

Some more good news for South Bermondsey.

The new  Connect 2 bridge is set to be opened on Friday
There will be an opening event on Friday 19th April 2013 at 2-3pm at the Stubbs Drive end.

It seems like only yesterday that Barry Mason proposed the idea years ago, at a community council meeting in 2003!

I’m shocked at just what a complete mess Southwark Council made of the Bail Hostel debacle.
Back in 2010 council staff were telling the administration to move Ellison House.
In January 2013 Southwark announced they were planning on building a 30 room bedsit bail hostel
at the junction of Rotherhithe New Road, and the Old Kent Road.
Bermondsey deserves better than that.
The Old Kent Road needs jobs, homes,

A Positive Vision for a Sustainable Future.

The people of Bermondsey need councillors who they can trust,
Who listen to local people and support them,
We’ve all been let done so badly by the Labour administration.

Bermondsey People deserve to be treated better.

Here’s what The South London Press wrote about Labour’s attempts to pretend they care about us.
The only thing that is transparent is that no-one believes them anymore.

Got a problem?

Why not go & talk to your local MP about it?

Simon Hughes is holding an advice surgery on Tuesday from 2 – 4 pm

Its at The Cafe in ASDA, on the Old Kent Road

Just turn up

- No appointment needed

Air pollution is killing us.
