🆕RAPID CAR CHARGING POINT

⚡️Good to see more infrastructure investment by @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social Mayor of @london.gov.uk in #Catford.

🚘 We can only make the move away from petrol and diesel cars if charging of vehicles is affordable and accessible.

It’s a wet Saturday morning but as your local Rushey Green Councillor I’m out #Catford Hill running a street surgery.

🏛️Great to be invited on behalf of @lewishamcouncil.bsky.social to attend Parliament for APPG for London and its meeting on House building

🏡London’s local authorities stand ready to build the homes London needs. It’s our hope this APPG can remove the blockers and help the builders deliver

BELLINGHAM - it was a crisp day out but full of warm receptions on the doorsteps in #Lewisham East

Great to have @janetdaby.bsky.social local MP and Minister for Children & Families with us as we listened to local residents about their priorities for this new government.

Yesterday I found some photos of my father, who passed not long after I turned a year and half.

These photos took the images I had of my dad from 4 to 40, and I couldn’t have been happier.

wouldn’t normally celebrate a youth service closing but…

“F••k yeah!” - #thingsgetbetter ♥️
After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers.

Science works, y'all.
