Phone snatching is an epidemic across London - but Southwark hosts some of the worst hotspots in the capital.
Liberal Democrats have a plan to tackle crime and ASB in Southwark - double community safety wardens, invest in CCTV, and give our young people more opportunities.
In Southwark, diversity is our strength.
We are not an "island of strangers" as Keir Starmer claims, and we will not let Reform divide us.
Southwark Liberal Democrats are proud to have a team from all over the globe who call Southwark their home!

After 16 years of Labour let down, it's time for change.
This is our manifesto for 2026: this is How To Fix Southwark.
Southwark's social housing waiting list now stands at 22,755 households. This is a direct result of Labour's housing failure
We would overhaul Labour's rotten housing department, and roll out one stop shops so issues like disrepair and damp and mould can be fixed quickly.
Labour shamefully rejected our alternative budget last night - they're more focused on political games than delivering on residents' priorities of the cost of living, crime, and council services.
We had a fully costed plan to deliver those priorities - but Labour rejected it.
Tonight, Liberal Democrats will propose to slash wasteful spend to freeze council tax for the most vulnerable, abolish it entirely for those with terminal illnesses, and add £1 million to the council's cost of living fund.

We'd roll out one stop shops & open a 24/7 hotline so issues can be dealt with quickly.

Half of calls made to Southwark's repairs line are not answered.
One of our councillors - Cllr Graham Neale in Saint George's Ward - is a tenant and was recently on hold for hours trying to resolve an urgent repair.
Local Lib Dem Councillor Irina Von Wiese had her phone stolen earlier this year outside this Labour council's own HQ.
Labour are failing on crime.
Southwark Liberal Democrats want to double the number of community safety wardens, and are fighting Sadiq Khan's police cuts.

We've issued notice to the Labour Party that their homes are not fit for human habitation.
In May, kick out London's worst landlord by voting Liberal Democrat.

🚨BREAKING 🚨
Labour-run Southwark council have spent thousands of pounds of taxpayer cash on Domino's, UberEats, and Pret a Manger.
During a cost of living crisis, this is not what your council tax should be being spent on.
Liberal Democrats would scrap this Labour waste.

We've written to Sadiq Khan expressing our concerns about what this means for Southwark, and urging him to change course.

Liberal Democrats warned Labour that their approach to transport policy would undermine car share schemes - which will have a massive impact on the ability of people to make greener choices, as well as on the type of developments in Southwark.
Fantastic to have Luke join us in Southwark to discuss the issues with crime and ASB we're facing locally.
With Southwark facing the 5th highest number of crimes in London, it's clear that Sadiq Khan and Southwark Labour have let us down.

It's been another busy month for the Southwark Liberal Democrats - with some big wins and representing Southwark on the national stage:
For #recyclingweek, Cllr Victor Chamberlain and Cllr Graham Neale visited Southwark's reuse and recycle centre to see how our waste is recycled.
Latest government stats show Southwark only recycles 30% of our waste - the top councils are Lib Dem run!
Labour say they spend money like it's their own - but all we're seeing is even more wasteful spending on substandard contract work that isn't delivering value for money.
In a cost of living crisis, how a council spends hard-earned taxpayer cash is more important than ever.
People sometimes ask us - what do the Lib Dems actually stand for?
Over the next few weeks, we'll chat to some of our councillors and activists to find out what liberalism means for them.
Not content with running a rail replacement bus service to disguise their failure to secure the Bakerloo Line Extension - Labour are now getting Southwark Council to foot a £5 million bill to prop up the gimmick.
Labour have all levers of power - they need to get on with building the Bakerloo Line Extension.
