Our Cllr Dan Holden and Cllr Max Austin went to Merton Council in Mitcham.

It was good to see lots of families and residents there. Hope the event encourages more people to be active and try local sports.

We accidentally missed the councillors running 🏃‍♂️ race but did congratulate the race winner Cllr Neaverson of Colliers Wood ward.

Next year, 14th March there is a brand new half marathon coming to Merton. Take a look and sign up if you like running.

Clarion have misread the public mood and what is their place. There are perfectly good other actual local charities supporting actual residents in need across Merton which Clarion could help.
There is no need to support a charity which supports illegal migrants breaking into the UK, one which in effect supports people smuggling gangs.

Rob Bates, Director of the Centre for Migration Control, said: 'Supporting Care4Calais directly bolsters the financial interests of Clarion. Once migrants exit Home Office accommodation, having been granted refugee status, they will almost invariably look to join social housing waiting lists.'

Thanks to Chris Philp MP for highlighting this, and we too think Clarion should end it's partnership with this care4calais group.

Disgraceful Clarion Housing Association gives free space to Care4Calais - an open borders charity that actively helps immigrants trying to illegally enter the UK

Clarion must urgently end this arrangement - or they’re supporting illegal immigration

At tonight’s council meeting Conservative councillors will defend the NHS stand up to the disinformation being spread by the Labour party about our local health services.

The Labour government delayed the new hospital programme when they came to office in 2024. This has meant that instead of being able to be treated at one of the best hospitals in London which was due to be built on the site of the Royal Marsden in Sutton, Merton residents will continue to use our existing hospitals which are out of date and offer lower standards of care.

It is a disgrace that Labour has continued to play politics with local health services and this has led to worse health outcomes for local people.

We will also stand up for local motorists and demand answers on why the government has given Merton the lowest rating for pothole repair, even after the last Conservative government gave Labour over £300k since 2023 to fix Merton’s potholes.
