Sorry to hear of the death of Tony Paterson, who stood down as a councillor in Mortlake in May.
Active to the end, Tony was closely involved in Lib Dem Friends of Ukraine, and stood for Parliament in 1979 against Margaret Thatcher in Finchley. Rest in peace, Tony.

Cargo bike use in London is booming - up 126% since 2022.
This week I joined 50 businesses - from Royal Mail to delivery firms, waste companies & tradespeople - to celebrate & raise awareness of this clean, green & economical alternative to diesel vans.

We have launched a campaign calling on the Government to keep its “Hands Off Richmond’s Funding”
Together, we can make sure Richmond gets the fair deal it deserves.
✍️ Sign our petition today: trlibdems.org.uk/handsoffric…
Government reforms would strip £29m of funding from Richmond upon Thames - nearly 60% of its core funding - making us the hardest hit of any London borough.
We're urging residents to back our proposal calling on the Government to rethink the plans ⬇️

That's how the Leader of the Council has described the Mayor of London's proposed Tourist Tax, labelling it as another cash grab from the borough.

Today, we're remembering former Councillor Robin Brown by flying York House's Union Flag at half mast.
He dedicated eight years of service to #LBRuT and the community he cared so deeply about, serving residents with integrity and compassion.

E-bikes - with pedal assist with speed & power limited by law - are legal and a great way to travel around London.
Illegal electric motorbikes - with much more power, speed & weight and with an auto throttle - are a dangerous menace.
Good to see the police taking action.
🚨 Our Cycle Unit has been working hard all week to identify and remove illegal E-Bikes/Motorbikes from our roads.
This ongoing work helps improve road safety and ensures our communities remain safe for everyone. 👮♂️🚴♂️⚡

..have said Hammersmith Bridges full restoration should be eligible for the £1 billion Structures Fund.
Tonight @LBHF say nah we're not going bother.
Not a peep from any of them. Us 🔶️ – at Hammersmith, London

As someone who attended, along with many Cllrs representing their wards, I was staggered by the Cabinet's inability to separate @LBHF finances from the Structures Fund. It was a simple ask: be more ambitious in your bid to the fund.
