“Where are the 11,000 new homes promised to you by this Labour-run council when they first came into power three terms ago? Labour has let you down. Ask yourself one question: When did you last actually see your local Ward Councillor? They are knocking on your doors now because they want your vote, but where have they been for the last four years? It is time for a representative who actually listens and delivers. Labour has let you down at every opportunity.”

“* Safe Pavements: Making our walkways safe, accessible, and well-maintained for all pedestrians.”

“* Better Parks for Families: We must make our parks safe and isable. I will prioritise updating children's playgrounds, especially ‹ing George's Fields on Lower Road, which has been neglected for too long. ask yourself this question what has Labour done for you? Nothing.”

“Barry Duckett - Your Voice for Rotherhithe”

“Local parks, like King Georges Fields Rotherhithe Ward, need new Play equipment. What have your local ward councillors done to get the park updated?”

“Nothing! We have been fighting for the investment needed to make this park DDA compliant so it usable by every child. Think before you vote on May 7th and spend one of your votes for change!”

“Flats left empty. This is a four bedroom flat left empty for months. We are told that we have over 600 voids, empty properties waiting to be done and put back on the Housing List, while we have over 16,000 people waiting to be housed and what have our Labour Ward Councillors done about it? Labour controlled Southwark Council has let you down”
