We want to work in partnership with residents to help make Merton the place we’re proud to call home. Our ‘Six to Fix’ are the six key outcomes we’ll deliver if elected. You can read more here: www.mertonlibdems.org.uk/our-plan-for...

We're fighting to take control of the Council because our community deserves better: better services, better value for money & a council that actually listens. Back the Liberal Democrats in 2026, and together we'll build the Merton people choose proudly to call home.

Today, we’re proud to launch our manifesto, our positive plan for Merton. These local elections are a chance to choose a fresh start for our community. You can read more about our ‘Six to Fix’, the six key outcomes we'll deliver if elected, here: www.mertonlibdems.org.uk/our-plan-for...

While Merton Labour's tax-payer funded leaflets claim they're 'freezing Council Tax,' in reality households will see a 2.5% rise. ​Calling this a freeze is disingenuous; it bets that residents won't read the small print. www.thetimes.com/uk/london/ar...

We’re calling for Community Safety Hubs across Merton which can act as local police bases, to maintain visible, accessible community policing. www.mertonlibdems.org.uk/our-campaign...

Under Sadiq Khan's plans, as of tomorrow, both Merton's police station front counters will close. We're calling on the Mayor & Merton Labour to listen to residents & re-think these harmful cuts.

Tomorrow, Wimbledon Police Station will close to the public. This is a real & worrying loss for our community. I've just handed in a petition signed by nearly 4000 residents, asking the Mayor & Labour Council to think again.

Merton Labour is choosing to shift the burden of its funding crisis directly onto residents at a time when many households are already struggling with the cost of living. We'll keep pushing the Council to protect services & keep costs down.

Under plans signed off by Sadiq Khan, residents in Merton will lose the ability to walk into a police station & report a crime or ask for help. The community is rightly concerned, with over 3000 signatures on our petition. You can sign below 👇🧵

The Mayor & the Met had promised there would be at least one 24hr police counter in every borough. With Merton now losing public access to both its police stations, I spoke to BBC London about the impact on vulnerable residents.

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.

South Wimbledon station needs step-free access! Today I presented the @mertonlibdems.bsky.social petition at the London Assembly signed by over 1000 local residents who are fed up waiting. It's time TfL stopped dragging their heels and got on with it!

Merton Labour claims they're helping households in the cost-of-living crisis, but their actions say otherwise👇 We’ll keep standing up for residents & fighting for a fairer, more affordable Merton. www.mertonlibdems.org.uk/news/article...

We’ve noticed free period products are not consistently available in some Council-owned buildings, despite the 2023 Lib Dem motion being approved to provide them in all toilets. We asked Merton Labour how much they’ve invested in the scheme.

Given the squeeze on local businesses, we asked Merton Labour what additional support they could give & whether they’ll commit to discretionary business rates relief.

In 2024, we were told by Merton Labour that a Labour Government would fix Merton’s financial challenges, yet Council Tax keeps rising at the maximum. We asked whether a £13.4m funding cut makes Merton’s position better or worse.

Lib Dem Councillors in Richmond have begun legal proceedings against the Met & MOPAC to save their Police Station front counter services. We asked Merton Labour whether they’ll join them & fight for our police stations.

We asked Merton Labour how they’ll proactively address the incorrect live-in Carer Council Tax discount displayed on their website and ensure affected residents are contacted to claim the support they’re entitled to.

We asked Merton Labour what they think residents will make of the Council choosing to raise fees 10x above the inflation rate, and the impact this will have on household finances in a cost-of-living crisis?

Exposed by MoneySavingExpert: Merton Council’s website wrongly downplayed who qualifies for the live-in carer Council Tax discount, risking unpaid carers missing out. It’s now been quietly fixed… www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2026/01...

We’re holding Merton Labour to account at tonight’s council meeting on their confusing claims to have ‘saved’ Merton’s police stations, and their failure to challenge the imminent closure of both Wimbledon & Mitcham stations to the public.

At tonight’s council meeting, we’re proposing the Council take real practical steps to boost the take-up of benefits local residents are entitled to. We’ll also be demanding a review of soaring fees & council charges hitting local residents & businesses under Merton Labour.

The Met confirms both Merton's police stations will close to the public at the end of February👇 We have a Labour Government, Labour Mayor of London and Labour Council bosses - but none have stood up for local people. www.mertonlibdems.org.uk/news/article...

In 2018, I used legal action to stop Sadiq Khan closing Wimbledon Police Station. Now, Lib Dem colleagues on Richmond Council are doing the same to protect their last public-facing police station. It’s disappointing Merton’s Labour Council won’t do the same here. www.paulkohler.uk/news/article...

We're thrilled that our campaign for step-free access at Raynes Park station is one step closer! We've been fighting for a station that works for everybody since 2013, and we'll keep pushing for progress. www.mertonlibdems.org.uk/news/article...

I enjoyed meeting with representatives from Merton Cycling Campaign. We discussed the benefits of active travel, how to ensure safety for all road users & the dangers of illegal e-bikes.

I’m proud to be your MP for Wimbledon. Whether you’re facing issues with immigration & visas; pensions; health & social care; welfare & housing concerns; environmental protections; matters of crime & community safety - my team & I are here to help.

There's a real risk that a seriously ill patient misses out on life-saving care because they didn’t go to A&E. The government must back our plan for a £1.5 billion package to provide an additional 6,000 beds.

Our teams have been out across Wandle ward this weekend, speaking to people about local and national issues - including the closure of the front counter at Wimbledon Police Station, parking, flytipping, and potholes - as well as the state of the world!

Supporting my @mertonlibdems.bsky.social colleagues in #ColliersWood. People telling us they want change! Let’s bring that change. #VoteLibDem this May. @libdemshk.bsky.social

I’ve written to Wes Streeting, expressing my concern about Merton’s shockingly low breast cancer screening rates. I've asked for support for our long-running campaign to boost access to these life-saving services for women in our community.

We're thrilled to hear that District Line signalling systems are being upgraded in 2026! 👇 Having worked with Paul in his ongoing campaign to address persistent disruption for residents, we're finally seeing progress towards long-overdue improvements.

Having repeatedly raised the unacceptable delays & cancellations on the District Line, TfL have now confirmed to me they’ve secured the money to replace the signalling system & Network Rail interface in 2026. Wonderful news, but I’ll reserve final judgment until it happens.

Pleased to join colleagues supporting Al Pinkerton's Bill, calling for a UK-EU Customs Union. It’s critical we fix our broken trade relationship with Europe & cut the mountains of red tape ushered in by the Conservatives’ botched deal.

It was fantastic to chat to pupils at Donhead Prep School about how they’ve been getting involved with UK Parliament Week. Thoroughly enjoyed answering their questions & the impromptu debate about the price of plastic bags!
