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 for over 33,000 residents, 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 private renters’ rights across the borough.
Lambeth Labour are on your side. We have the track record of delivering for you.
Our Track Record of Being On Your Side in Lambeth

TACKLING
the climate crisis
With Labour leadership Lambeth was the first London borough to declare a Climate Emergency.
We’re retrofitting council buildings, supporting renewable energy and promoting sustainable transport.

Families have already moved from hostels into our new council homes, with hundreds more homes on the way.
CREATING

With Labour leadership we’re working with the Mayor of London to improve policing in Lambeth.
We’ve protected services to help prevent violence against women and girls and are working with our local community to make the streets safer for all.

Petitions
Our Councillors:
Why is the Lambeth Green Party administration petitioning itself?
Norwood Feast is one of the best community events in our area. It’s a market that brings people together, supports local businesses and charities, and is something we should all want to see succeed.
Unfortunately, there’s been some misinformation from Lambeth Green Party about who is responsible for licensing fees and costs for our markets.
As Chair of Lambeth’s Licensing Committee, my role is to chair meetings and ensure individual licence applications are considered fairly, impartially and in line with the law, as well as Lambeth’s Licensing Policy and the London-wide framework where relevant. It is not my role to set the council’s fees and charges and I have no power to reduce them.
Those fees form part of the council’s budget and are the responsibility of the Green Party administration. This has been explained privately and publicly to local Green Party councillors. If Green councillors believe they should be reviewed or reduced, they should be speaking to their own Cabinet Member and Council Leader who is responsible for the budget, rather than petitioning residents as though the decision doesn’t sit with them.
There’s nothing wrong with campaigning for change. But it’s important we are honest with residents about who has the power to make decisions. People deserve transparency and accountability.
We all want Norwood Feast to thrive. Markets are an essential part of our town centres and communities. Lambeth Labour worked closely with traders throughout the whole borough to provide support across a range of areas and ensure our markets are sustainable and at the heart of our communities.
Let’s work together to support them - but let’s also make sure we’re giving residents accurate information about how Lambeth Council works.
Councillor David Bridson, Chair of Licensing Committee
Residents deserve honesty about the library cuts under consideration from Lambeth Green Party.
We invested millions improving and modernising Lambeth’s libraries despite years of cuts from Tory and Liberal Democrat austerity, recognising them as vital community assets.
Lambeth Green Party must do the same. See the full update in the comments below. 📃

Sounds like sour grapes.
Same applies to all parties. How do you tell in a politician is lying? Their lips are moving.
🚨🚮 BRING BACK OUR BINS!
Several weeks ago, litter bins were removed from multiple locations along Clapham High Street and Wandsworth Road.
Since then, the local Labour councillors representing Clapham and Stockwell have repeatedly raised concerns and called for their reinstatement in full.
Despite multiple requests, Lambeth Council now says it will “not be reinstating some of the bins that were removed.”
This is not good enough. Many residents and businesses have reported an increase in rubbish in the affected areas, particularly around busy Overground and Underground stations.
We therefore urge Lambeth Green Party to reinstate all our litter bins as soon as possible to help to keep our neighbourhood clean and welcoming for all.
👉 Back our petition to help bring back our bins in the comments below!

This is terrible. I’m so proud of bins in Stockwell. Bring them back!
it's because Lambeth Labour privatised the litter enforcers and fine anyone dropping litter £500, see today's Guardian newspaper www.theguardian.com/money/2026/aug/03/littering-fine-coffee-cup-rubbish-bag-next-to-full-bin

They've learnt from the masters
And Lambeth Labour were always so transparent😏
Can Lambeth council run a non party programme of education for all citizens so that we can understand what local government does? Unfortunately, whenever we see financial data, it seems incorrect: Councillors are surely responsible for all council spending, which is £1.5 billion a year. Not £300 million. "Your councillor: is responsible for how nearly £300 million is spent every year on public services" www.lambeth.gov.uk/about-council/councillors-and-mayor/lambeth-councillors/councillors
