💧 We’re out regularly watering these young trees, but you can help too. Look out for our ‘Please Water Me’ signs and give a new tree near you a bucket of water.

A month ago today, I was elected as a councillor for Wandle Ward.
Here's the moment I signed my Declaration of Acceptance of Office.
After a month of inductions, training and getting stuck into casework, it's all starting to feel very real. A privilege to serve local residents.

Your Wandle ward councillors, Eleanor Stringer & I were at the Haydons Rd Rec litter pick this morning organised by @HaydonsFriends.

Looking forward to the festival here next month, more soon!
