London Councils calls on London MPs to fight for the capital

Council leaders from the three main political parties have today written to all London MPs urging them to fight for the capital’s public services ahead of next month’s local government finance settlement.

The settlement could fix funding levels for London’s local authorities up to the next four years and estimates suggest that they will see a £1.5 billion reduction in funding over that period.

With the situation looking so bleak, London Councils has called on the capital’s MPs to persuade the government to ensure London’s local authorities get a fair deal from the funding settlement.

Please lobby our MP to support Lambeth’s public services! You can contact Vauxhall’s member of parliament, Kate Hoey MP as follows:

Lambeth aims to become Britain's first co-operative council

Message below from Cllr Paul McGlone, Labour Councillor, Ferndale ward, and Lambeth Council Cabinet Member for Finance:

"Our work to become Britain's first co-operative council has become the subject of a film.

Made by Local Government TV, an internet-based television channel, it describes our ground-breaking vision and describes how the co-operative approach has already been successful in Lambeth."
