🌹 Honoured to have been elected Labour & Co-operative Councillor for Kentish Town North with @SylviaMcnamara_ last night!
Thanks to everyone involved for their support. I can’t wait to get stuck in with an amazing team as Camden’s youngest councillor!
As I told The Guardian, in Camden we support dockless hire bikes, but not when they’re blocking pavements or parking bays.
That’s why we’re acting - so far this year, we’ve seized 1600 bikes, fined companies £250k and are working on a Londonwide solution.

Thanks to the Camden Council and London Fire Brigade who have been in Kentish Town today to pick up the pieces from yet another burst pipe.
Week after week in Camden, we see the damage done by Thames Water’s failing infrastructure. We will keep holding them to account for this.
Cllr James Slater retweeted
We're aware of a burst water main on Kentish Town Road and are working with @ThamesWater and @LFB to tackle the problem. In the meantime, please avoid the area, and we'll provide an update as soon as possible. (1)

We are so proud of our MP, @Keir_Starmer
He took our party from its worst election defeat in decades to a landslide majority, rooted out antisemitism in our Party, and delivered for people across the country in government.
We see that impact every day in Camden. Thank you, Keir

The perfect way to top our manifesto launch.

Good news for Londoners.
The Freedom Pass is vital for older Londoners, helping them stay connected to friends and family.
Labour councils have my full backing to protect it 👏🏾
Labour council leaders in London have blocked a proposed review of the Freedom Pass that could have restricted the free travel benefits currently enjoyed by 1.2m older Londoners. standard.co.uk/news/transpor…
Good fun to join the Carrol & Sanderson Estate Gardening Group this morning, making a huge difference to improve the area, working with @GrowingGreenUK 🌱
Proud to support local funding for their fantastic work in Kentish Town North!

UPDATE: A burst water main on Falkland Road is causing a loss of water across Kentish Town, NW5
I understand that bottled water is being provided to those in priority need, and Camden is working with Thames Water.
Watch out for updates at 👇

Latest update from @thameswater below on the earlier incident in Kentish Town - a rest centre is now being set up. Water supply should now be back on.
Please do get in touch if you have been impacted by flooding - and contact Thames Water for support.
Huge thanks to the @CamdenCouncil and @thameswater teams on the ground, as well as police and fire teams, who have worked tirelessly through the day to support those affected by flooding and fix the damage.
Part of Leighton Road remains closed with repairs taking place now.
