Shortlands & Park Langley Councillors

We are passionate about keeping our neighbourhood police on the beat in our neighbourhood. See below a video about how Thomas Turrell AM - London Assembly Member for Bexley and Bromley has worked to ensure more of our police stay in our local area rather than being abstracted to police large-scale events in Crystal Palace.

As Councillors we are also Corporate Parents for looked after children in our Borough, it is a great honour and responsibility so it was great fun today to join our children their families & carers for a fun day.

There was quite a lot of competition on Connect Four, the Bungee Run & other inflatable games. It was great to chat to & have fun with so many of our amazing young people. There was also a tug of war which was Councillors vs young people, which sadly (or some may say not sadly….) the Councillors lost!
