Thank you to the 100 MPs and Peers who attended the #CarersWeek parliamentary drop-in event today for joining us in saying ‘We care about equality for carers’

Amongst them, Baroness Pitkeathley and Baroness Casey joined us to talk to carers about equality and MP Anna Dixon hosted the event.

👀 Something exciting is coming!

Thank you so much Tiggy Walker for presenting our BBC Radio 4 appeal.

People First starts with conversations on doorsteps.

This brilliant Labour team has been out listening to residents in South Norwood about how best we can really change this borough.

Croydon is the fly-tipping capital of the UK.

That needs to change.

Wow. Croydon Labour has voted for change.

“Rowenna Davis won the Croydon Mayoral selection with 82% of the vote on a 46% turnout.”

And so, so much more. You can see an outline of my plans for Croydon here: rowennadavis.co.uk/policy

This is an open, ongoing conversation. If you have an idea for Croydon, I want to hear it! Please get in touch.
