Did you know the Northern Line gets the most complaints for tube noise? So we asked TfL to come to South Wimbledon to talk to local residents about what they're doing to reduce it.

On the LD workout plan - a delivery route with 50 flights of stairs. If you want to get fit and help us win Merton Council drop us a note. Hope High Path enjoys the latest newsletter.

It was good to sit down with Sangeeta, the Postmistress at Wimbledon Post Office, to discuss the imminent closure. I know many of my constituents are understandably concerned about losing this service. We’re now contacting the council to explore options, including a new site.

Some of our team out in Abbey today listening to resident's concerns. Clearly a lot of optimism for a new, energetic LibDem Council in May.

Our South Wimbledon step-free access petition, backed by over 1,000 signatures, was delivered to City Hall today by Cllr Klaar Dresselaers and Barry Smith and presented to the London Assembly by Hina Bokhari OBE, seen here alongside Gareth Roberts AM. Fingers crossed for a positive response.

Our Focus Team member, Barry Smith, last night asked the Council to make public all items of discretionary "P-card" spending, which have been used for things like Netflix and Disney+ previously. The cabinet member avoided the question. youtu.be/9yMJCUgc8Do?...

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Liberal Democrats have won more local by-elections than any other party in 2025. In real elections up and down the country, only the Lib Dems are taking on Reform and winning.

With the Labour government and Labour Mayor removing the financial incentives for residents to switch to cleaner, electric vehicles Barry Smith asked the Council what they are doing to encourage residents to make the change. www.youtube.com/live/1UtL39P...

Disappointing that Merton's Labour Council will not even take free money from the government to help electric vehicle owners charge their cars cheaply from their home electricity supply.

Free bike marking event Saturday 29th.

Hard to believe that 10 years ago we had only one councillor in Merton and were a distant 3rd in the Wimbledon constituency. Now we have 17 councillors and Wimbledon's MP and we're campaigning to take control of the council next May. Merton is turning orange!

TfL's own study on step-free access for the Northern Line rated South Wimbledon as the easiest to install a lift at, and recommended it be taken forward for a full feasibility study, yet they are not doing so. Sign our petition asking them to reconsider. www.mertonlibdems.org.uk/our-campaign...

Delighted to welcome @eddavey.libdems.org.uk to Wimbledon to officially open our new office on Merton Road.

That's a nice looking new shop opening on Merton Road.

Good to get a couple of hours exercise in this morning helping the Friends of Haydons Road Rec spread the mulch.

Loved chatting with so many residents today — from familiar faces we’ve met many times to newcomers to the area. Always grateful for the conversations and insights people share.

Congratulations to Bombay Delight for winning both the People's Choice and Champion Business categories in this year's Merton's Best Business awards.

Abbey Road consultation closes this Friday - last chance to have your say here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/TXBCL75

Our position on the Quicks Road flags.

We are shocked to hear of this incident of racist abuse against a local business in connection with the flags put up on Quicks Road. We call upon Labour's @cllrneaverson.bsky.social to rethink his decision to allow these flags to remain.

Streets are supposed to be swept after bin collections but three days later Grove Road still looks like this. Merton Council needs to get a grip on street sweeping.

Flags on lampposts on Quicks Road are being reported but dismissed as on ‘private land’—which is clearly false. At the Council meeting on Wednesday we urged Labour’s Cllr Neaverson to end this misuse of this response, but received no such commitment. fixmystreet.merton.gov.uk/report/8181168

Community pride should unite, not divide us, but flags put up in secret at night are about intimidation, not celebration. Merton Council needs to remove the Quicks Road flags without further delay.

We’re proud to support Polka Invites, a scheme offering free and subsidised creative opportunities for children and families in Merton. 🎭 From theatre tickets to workshops, every child should have the chance to enjoy the arts. ✨ Find out more: [email protected]

We're on Merton's first Pride march today. Great to see so many people turn out.

We were out again this morning litter picking at Haydons Road Rec. for the first time since it achieved Green Flag status recently. Let's keep our parks litter free.

We are shocked to learn of the serious incident on Merton High Street on 23 August. Our thoughts are with the victim and her family. We strongly encourage anyone with information to contact the police. You can call 101 and quote reference 1269/23AUG. www.wimbledonguardian.co.uk/news/2541370...

From the Domesday Book - in 1086 Merton had just 69 households, and 89 swine.

Did you know environmentalism is at the very heart of the LibDems' Constitution? The second sentence, right after our commitment to liberalism, is a commitment to protecting the environment.

Congratulations to the incredible Friends of HRRG team on securing Green Flag status for Haydons Road Rec! A well-deserved recognition of years of hard work, care, and community dedication.

Great to meet so many of you and get lots more signatures for our South Wimbledon step-free campaign today. If we missed you, you can still sign here -> mertonlibdems.org.uk/our-campaign...

Why are you rejecting reports which are clearly on public land as being on private property Merton Council?

If Labour wants more disabled people working then the way to do it is to remove the barriers preventing them, not punitive benefits cuts. Investing in step-free access for our stations is one measure which would help. Sign our petition for South Wimbledon. www.mertonlibdems.org.uk/our-campaign...

"I remember when all this were fields" - South Wimbledon in 1865.

South Wimbledon c. 1893. Much of the ward south of Kingston Road/Merton High Street was still to be developed, and the Abbey Mills are still present on the area of Abbey Road to Mill Road today. Merton Abbey station and the railway line - now Merantun Way - can also be seen.

Merton Council have been delaying action to improve EV charging because they have been waiting for the government to act. Now the government has slashed their EV charging plans by almost 60%. Merton need to admit their delay has been a mistake and act now. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

On #WindrushDay, we honour the generation who arrived in 1948 to help rebuild postwar Britain. Their legacy lives on in every corner of our culture, communities, and history. Thank you for shaping the nation we are today.

Our borough wide group - @mertonlibdems.bsky.social - are here too now - give them a follow.

Pleased to see the change in parking rules by the bike companies seems to be resulting in more bikes where they are meant to be and fewer blocking the pavements, but we will be monitoring.

Meet your Liberal Democrat team for South Wimbledon (Abbey ward): www.mertonlibdems.org.uk/abbey

We're out collecting signatures for our campaign to bring step-free access to South Wimbledon, but many of you seem to be out enjoying the sunshine, so if we've missed you you can always sign here: www.mertonlibdems.org.uk/our-campaign...

Many companies now offer solutions for on-street electric car charging from home power supplies. But, despite promises two years ago to begin trials, Merton council has still taken no action on this. When will we finally see some real support for EV owners from Merton Council?

Merton LibDems have successfully campaigned for step-free access at a number of local stations. Join our MP @paulkohlersw19.bsky.social in fighting to make South Wimbledon our next step-free station: www.mertonlibdems.org.uk/our-campaign...

Good to be out in The Battles today along with Paul Kohler MP talking to residents about local issues and our campaign for step free access at South Wimbledon tube station.
