  1. If Lambeth Labour Party are representative of Labour then it's no wonder they've burned through people's goodwill and collapsed at the Polls.

    Epstein Class shenanigans and entitlement, Voters are sick of it.

  2. So #Lambeth seems poised to be one of the last councils in #London to declare the winner of the #localelections, with high stakes and apparently very upset #Labour councillors asking for recounts where there are small margins. We are now 1 seat away from Labour losing its historical majority.

  11. Early #Lambeth results: Trend accentuating, #Labour total collapse and #GreenParty lead. #LibDems picking up crumbs, unclear for now whether Labour will end up last or not, that would be absolutely seismic for a council that has been Labour for 52 years out of 60 (i.e. since 1965)!

    A proof if needed that NOT LISTENING to constituents eventually has a price!

  12. @Lazarou I panicked for a sec given the order in which it was presented!!

    A better graph. Long live #Lambeth #Brixton & grateful to live in a place that gives me #hope in the face of life or death peril.

  13. The only bit of campaign literature that came through our door was from Shake It Up

    Greens let me down on this street. If the wave doesn't happen here it's because of simple shit like that.

    Shake It Up just had somebody go round and put flyers through doors in this building, I bet they get results because of it.

  16. As the #UK #localelections on #May7 approach, #Labour in #Lambeth seems increasingly desperate as they post flyer after flyer on the #Green peril & supposed scary record of #Greens councils (here's to you #Bristol, a "totally out of control budget with HUGE tax hike" of.... 4.99%!). Will people choose "Green Chaos" over 20 years of unchecked Labour power cosying to Texan & Qatari interests while flattening council estates & #community spaces coyly called #gentrification? Dafuck they will!

  17. RE: mastodon.social/@sheislaurence

    If commenting directly on the #Lambeth planning website is too much for you, try this #petition created by the Save Nour peeps. They successfully fight #Brixton's #gentrification (Nour, Hondo) & now taking on the defense of International House to save not just local character but essential #community activity.

    actionnetwork.org/petitions/sa

  18. This is International House in #Brixton #London, a high rise that has been a thriving home to dozens of #community groups, #charities, #advocacy & #socialjustice orgs since 2018. There's an amazing #rooftopcafé & even saunas! But #Lambeth is seeking to sell it off to a #UAE property developer to turn it into... luxury flats & corporate offices (with token #socialhousing & commmunity space).

    OBJECT now in the consultation before 12/03 & share!

  23. The local Labour council literally shut the door on campaigners calling for more to help the unhoused and mentally ill on the streets of our borough.

    "Brixton campaigners were blocked from entering Lambeth Town Hall on Monday night as they attempted to deliver a new Community Charter on Street Homelessness, Addiction and Mental Health to councillors during a full Cabinet meeting."

    The #Palestine Solidarity campaign created a great database, where you can look up your own #localCouncil investments. You can then hop to the tab 'local petitions' to find your own local petition.

  27. 🧵4/n: I was on a #yourparty working group dedicated to #Lambeth #localelections in May 2026. There was doubt whether an unorganised party will have any chance at all. There was good representation of the #GreenParty and a belief that at a minimum, an embryonic YourParty representation could strategise with the Greens. At best, go beyond basic #tech and look at #ward demographic #data for tactical targeting, as #Reform have been seen doing, and see where #Labour can be unseated.

  29. #Lambeth on a #felling spree in #BrockwellPark, as i spotted around 20 marked trees in a single run. This reminds me to chase my FOI about #treeplanting monitoring & survival rate (UK average is 30% die in the first 12 months). It seems there’s zero #maturetrees policy in a city (#London) where most trees were planted in the 19th century. Anyone has a #climatemitigation #urbantrees policy/blueprint to share to encourage local authorities to do better?

  30. People Hate the Idea of #Car-#Free #Cities—Until They Live in One

    London had a problem: In 2016, more than 2 million of the city’s residents
    —roughly a quarter of its population
    —lived in areas with illegal levels of air #pollution;
    areas that also contained nearly 500 of the city’s schools.

    That same air pollution was prematurely killing as many as 36,000 people a year.

    Much of it was coming from #transport: a quarter of the city’s carbon emissions were from moving people and goods, with three-quarters of that emitted by road traffic.

    But in the years since, carbon emissions have fallen.

    There’s also been a 94 percent reduction in the number of people living in areas with illegal levels of nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant that causes lung damage.

    The reason?
    ♦️London has spent years and millions of pounds reducing the number of motorists in the city.

    It’s far from alone. From #Oslo to #Hamburg and #Ljubljana to #Helsinki, cities across Europe have started working to reduce their road traffic in an effort to curb air pollution and climate change.

    But while it’s certainly having an impact
    (Ljubljana, one of the earliest places to transition away from cars, has seen sizable reductions in carbon emissions and air pollution),
    going car-free is a lot harder than it seems.

    Not only has it led to politicians and urban planners facing death threats and being doxxed, it has forced them to rethink the entire basis of city life.

    London’s car-reduction policies come in a variety of forms.
    There are #charges for dirtier vehicles and for driving into the city center.
    #Road #layouts in residential areas have been redesigned, with one-way systems and bollards, barriers, and planters used to reduce through-traffic (creating what are known as “low-traffic neighborhoods”—or LTNs).
    And schemes to get more people #cycling and using #public #transport have been introduced.

    The city has avoided the kind of outright car bans seen elsewhere in Europe, such as in #Copenhagen, but nevertheless things have changed.

    “The level of traffic reduction is transformative, and it’s throughout the whole day,” says Claire Holland, leader of the council in #Lambeth, a borough in south London.

    Lambeth now sees 25,000 fewer daily car journeys than before its LTN scheme was put in place in 2020, even after adjusting for the impact of the pandemic.

    Meanwhile, there was a 40 percent increase in cycling and similar rises in walking and scooting over that same period.

    What seems to work best is a carrot-and-stick approach
    —creating positive reasons to take a bus or to cycle rather than just making driving harder.

    “In crowded urban areas, you can’t just make buses better if those buses are still always stuck in car traffic,” says Rachel Aldred, professor of transport at the University of Westminster and director of its Active Travel Academy.

    “The academic evidence suggests that a mixture of positive and negative characteristics is more effective than either on their own.”

    For countries looking to cut emissions, cars are an obvious target.

    They make up a big proportion of a country’s carbon footprint, accounting for one-fifth of all emissions across the European Union.

    Of course, urban driving doesn’t make up the majority of a country’s car use, but the kind of short journeys taken when driving in the city are some of the most obviously wasteful, making cities an ideal place to start if you’re looking to get people out from behind the wheel.

    That, and the fact that 🔸many city residents are already car-less 🔸(just 40 percent of people in Lambeth own cars, for example) and that 🔹cities tend to have better public transport alternatives than elsewhere.🔹
