Which way will you vote?

It's a little early to go and cast your vote right now but don't forget to make it to the polling station today. They're open between 7am-10pm, so no excuses!

If you're still not sure which way to vote:

Can you help thirsty trees on Tuesday?

With a hot, sunny bank holiday in store, there will no doubt be lots of visitors on Clapham Common.  While you're out and about enjoying the good weather, spare a thought for the younger trees planted on the Common in recent years that are struggling for water in the higher temperatures.  Whilst Lambeth Council is doing everything it can to keep the foliage alive, it would be great if volunteers (that means you!) could join Clapham Town's Cllr Helen O’Malley near the Boating pond at 5pm on Tuesday 26th April for a watering “hit squad”!

There was a fantastic turnout last week and it would be great if this effort could be kept up.  For more information, please contact Cllr O’Malley directly by email.

Alternative Vote - don't forget to vote!

With less than three weeks until the Alternative Vote (AV) referendum, many of you may still be thinking about which way you will vote or even if you will vote at all.  Although it may not seem to be the most important issue in this climate of cuts and economic glum, the result could have a massive impact on the future of politics in the UK.

There is still a lot of confusion about what AV is and how it will influence future elections, so Vauxhall Labour Party has organised a free public debate on Wednesday 20th April at Kennington Park Community Centre.  The event will start at 7:30pm with a short debate between Jessica Asato, Director of the Labour Yes! campaign, and former MP Jane Kennedy, who is the national organiser for the Labour NO to AV campaign.  The audience will then be invited to ask questions and make comments before the evening ends with a vote to see who has won the argument on the night.  Will it predict the national outcome?

Please do come along if you can and invite your friends.  You don't need to be a Labour supporter to take part.  More information can also be found on Facebook.
