Generating electricity from renewables is cheaper than gas but people aren’t seeing the benefit in their bills because electricity prices are largely set by gas. We have to break the link between the cost of electricity and the price of gas. www.libdems.org.uk/news/article...

The old two parties keep failing people looking for change. More people are turning to a party that stands for true British values: the Liberal Democrats.

Without asking anyone, Labour have decided to slash services on route 54 through Catford, Lewisham and Blackheath. TfL need to think again. Labour's in charge at the Town Hall, City Hall and Westminster. There's no-one else to blame. Sign our petition today. www.lewishamlibdems.org.uk/54bus

"The Council's leaseholders face misery" says Lib Dem Chris Maines. Some face mysterious sky-high bills and gagging orders. Huge bills have left leaseholders baffled and angry. Four who found they had been over-charged had to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) before the Council would settle.

More than £270m has been paid out since the start of the Iran war to shut wind farms across Britain. We've also paid gas plants and others to replace the lost energy. A sensible Govt would get a grip on this madness; that's not going to be Starmer's crew. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...?

Lee Green Lib Dems want Leegate developed in a way that is right for our area. We support regeneration, genuine social rent homes and better public space. We'll back plans that work for the whole community, not just the developer. www.lewishamlibdems.org.uk/leegreen

Labour want to cover Lewisham with Controlled Parking Zones (CPZ). They've bodged half-baked consultations to support their plan. Last April they invited 120 people to a public meeting, issued a press release and posted on social media. But they won't say how many residents back their proposal.

To everyone celebrating across England. From Colchester to Manchester, Newcastle to Newhaven, King's Lynn to King's Cross. Happy St George's Day!

Yet more Tube strikes today. Still no resolution. Londoners are fed up with paying the price for repeated breakdowns in talks. TfL and unions must get back round the table. But where is the Mayor? London needs leadership to get a grip. He promised zero strikes, not zero action

Liberal Democrats are clear: new housing must go hand in hand with new GPs. We will ensure that no community is left overwhelmed. Back our petition: www.libdems.org.uk/development

LEWISHAM Council paid over £1,000 per day to its head of adult social care last year. That's a whopping £205,331 including a fee for her agency. Lib Dem Chris Maines branded it an “eye-wateringly high” sum and said it would shock many locals. lewishamletter.co.uk/council-paid...

"No opposition leads to poor decisions and failing services" according to campaigner Peter Ramrayka. "After the last local election every Lewisham Councillor represented the Labour Party. "Local Assemblies were abolished and public questions curtailed. Lewisham needs an opposition voice."

Lewisham Labour bodge consultations to get the answer they want. The result often doesn’t work for anyone. The Council placed a small bike parking bay at the top of Station Approach Sydenham. Cyclists don't use it and the pavement gets obstructed. Lewisham needs to sort it AND consult properly.

The Govt won't measure the volume of sewage going into our waterways, only the duration. The water companies are delighted. Lib Dem plans will force companies to reveal the volume of sewage going into our waterways. Not how long it takes them to discharge sewage. www.facebook.com/reel/7841027...

Lewisham has not finalised a deal for a new cinema in Catford. After questions by Lib Dem campaigner Mark Morris the Council admitted that a lease has not been signed and negotiations continue. The announcement in February of a new cinema was "premature". www.salamandernews.org/more-questio...

Lewisham hasn't removed a single hire bike although over 4,000 have been reported. The Council can issue fines but there have been none. They say a new agreement allows the Council to use legal powers to remove obstructions. Lewisham doesn't need a company's consent to enforce the law.

The duty of care for mental health at work is failing according to Lewisham campaigner Josh Matthews. A workplace duty of care exists in UK law for mental health; but it is not treated the same way as physical health. www.facebook.com/reel/1614149...

Donald Trump’s illegal war in Iran is devastating the Middle East and affecting people across Britain. Rewarding Donald Trump with a state visit is a massive mistake. The King should not have to meet a bully who ignores international law and insults our country. www.libdems.org.uk/cancelkingsv...

Lewisham Council did nothing about the 4,350 e-bikes reported by local residents in 2025. The Labour Councillor in charge says it's not the Council's problem. The email we use to notify Lime of inconsiderately parked bikes and scooters is [email protected]. For Forest we email [email protected].
