Labour Council bosses in Merton have launched an "assault on democracy" by forcing through new rules designed to shut down opposition voices and evade public scrutiny, opposition councillors say.
Labour councillors in Merton have voted unanimously to back the Government's welfare and benefits reforms at the Council meeting on 2 April. This comes despite the Liberal Democrats raising the alarm over severe consequences for local residents.
Raynes Park Post Office is at risk of closure! This vital hub keeps our community connected, providing essential banking and postal services. Its loss would be catastrophic, especially for the elderly and digitally excluded.
With very limited notice, Merton Council has introduced road closures to limit traffic between Merantun Way and Merton High Street. This means there are road closures at the junctions of Pincott Road/High Path and Abbey Road/Station Road.
Liberal Democrats have accused Labour of “haemorrhaging taxpayers’ hard-earned cash” on mismanaged housing projects and temporary accommodation.
Leader of the opposition, Cllr Anthony Fairclough writes about Merton's budget and how Merton Lib Dems would do things differently.
