LAMBETH LABOUR
ON YOUR SIDE
Priorities
Great public spaces
Lambeth now has 26 Green Flag Award–winning parks, confirming us as one of London’s top boroughs for quality public spaces, alongside our 10 fantastic community libraries, which we continue to invest in.
Tackling the cost of living
Thousands of residents are getting support with their water bills, the Freedom Pass has been protected, and 37,000 Lambeth households received £150 off their energy bills this winter.
Safer Lambeth
Recently secured 28 more police officers in Brixton, and we are fighting against proposed cuts to Lambeth’s last remaining police station.
The best place to grow up
Thousands of Lambeth children receive free school meals, saving families around £600 per child each year and bringing millions of extra funding into local schools, alongside 10 new free breakfast clubs across Lambeth.
Building new homes
Built more affordable homes, helped over 200 people off the streets last year, and improved up for private renters’ rights.

Petitions
🚨Phone boxes in the heart of Brixton to be replaced! 🚨
Working with local businesses, the police, and the Brixton Business Improvement District, Lambeth Labour have secured a replacement for these two phone boxes outside Brixton underground station.
They are currently broken, misused and frequently used as a spot for fly-tipping and ASB. They don't exactly say welcome to Brixton!
What would you like to see them replaced with?
This week, we were proud to open a new reading room in honour of the life of award-winning author Alex Wheatle MBE, also known as the Brixton Bard, at Brixton Library in Windrush Square, which he visited regularly.
Libraries are a vital part of Lambeth’s rich cultural story, and they remain at the heart of our communities today.
That’s why we continue to invest over £4 million a year in them. From skills and employment sessions for young people, to language lessons, to providing access to books and learning resources to support rehabilitation in Brixton Prison, they serve communities across our borough every day.

🚨 Should Lambeth’s last police station stay open 24/7? 🚨
Under current Metropolitan Police plans, Lambeth’s last remaining police station will have its hours reduced from March.
We don’t think this is right.
We need your help to send a clear message to the Met Police: Lambeth needs a police station open 24/7, with more resources for neighbourhood policing.
✅ We’ve recently secured 28 extra police officers for Brixton
