Hard to believe that 10 years ago we had only one councillor in Merton and were a distant 3rd in the Wimbledon constituency. Now we have 17 councillors and Wimbledon's MP and we're campaigning to take control of the council next May.
Merton is turning orange!

TfL's own study on step-free access for the Northern Line rated South Wimbledon as the easiest to install a lift at, and recommended it be taken forward for a full feasibility study, yet they are not doing so.

Our position on the Quicks Road flags.
We are shocked to hear of this incident of racist abuse against a local business in connection with the flags put up on Quicks Road. We call upon Labour's @cllrneaverson.bsky.social to rethink his decision to allow these flags to remain.

Streets are supposed to be swept after bin collections but three days later Grove Road still looks like this. Merton Council needs to get a grip on street sweeping.

Flags on lampposts on Quicks Road are being reported but dismissed as on ‘private land’—which is clearly false. At the Council meeting on Wednesday we urged Labour’s Cllr Neaverson to end this misuse of this response, but received no such commitment.

Community pride should unite, not divide us, but flags put up in secret at night are about intimidation, not celebration. Merton Council needs to remove the Quicks Road flags without further delay.

Did you know environmentalism is at the very heart of the LibDems' Constitution? The second sentence, right after our commitment to liberalism, is a commitment to protecting the environment.

Why are you rejecting reports which are clearly on public land as being on private property Merton Council?

If Labour wants more disabled people working then the way to do it is to remove the barriers preventing them, not punitive benefits cuts. Investing in step-free access for our stations is one measure which would help. Sign our petition for South Wimbledon.

South Wimbledon c. 1893. Much of the ward south of Kingston Road/Merton High Street was still to be developed, and the Abbey Mills are still present on the area of Abbey Road to Mill Road today. Merton Abbey station and the railway line - now Merantun Way - can also be seen.
