I was thrilled to visit Royal Mail's Lewisham Delivery Office last week. This was a great opportunity to meet the dedicated team and thank them for their hard work all year round, especially during the busy Christmas period.

Every five minutes a UK family is made homeless or is threatened with it - something no one should ever have to face.
The Gov aims to change this, launching a National Plan to End Homelessness, backed by £3.5bn and shaped by people who’ve lived it & frontline workers.

Small businesses are the backbone of our communities - employing around 60% of the UK workforce.
Loved sitting down in Ladywell with council candidates Ayesha and Collet to talk about the thriving small businesses right on our doorstep and why it's so important we support them.
