Give Nurses a Real Pay Rise

Health and care workers have been working tirelessly over the last year. That's why Merton Liberal Democrats fought to secure a fair wage for local care workers, and now we're demanding a real pay rise for nurses.

Nurses have been at the forefront of the pandemic, battling to save everyone hospitalised with coronavirus over the past year - including our Conservative Prime Minister. Yet the Conservative government are saying nurses only deserve a 1% pay increase - this barely keeps up with inflation. Merton Lib Dems are calling on the government to give Nurses a real pay rise.

Cllr Paul Kohler, Lib Dem spokesperson for Wimbledon, said, "Our local Conservative MP has shown how cheaply he values the sacrifices and hard-work of nurses serving in the biggest health emergency for a century. Merton Lib Dems are demanding the government recognise all they have done and grant nurses the pay rise they deserve".

Stop South Western Railway Cuts

South Western Railway propose to cut services to many stations in our Borough, including Motspur Park, Raynes Park and Wimbledon. At a time when we should be encouraging more people onto the railways, we’re appalled by the Department of Transport’s insistence on reducing services as a cost cutting measure.

Electric Vehicle Charging in Merton

Many residents across Merton rely on on-street parking. We are calling on Merton council to improve charging provision for electric vehicles across Merton.
