    On-going Campaigns

    We work hard all year round campaigning for the residents of the Falconwood & Welling ward and have done so for many years. Whatever the weather, regardless if it’s election time or not, we are out listening to the concerns of local residents and campaigning on their behalf.  Below we have highlighted some of our on-going campaigns where we continue to fight for the best possible outcome.

    • Lobbying the government and Mayor of London for better and more reliable transport. 

    • We helped freeze Council Tax for 5 years in a row and we continue to try and help residents save money.

    • We continue to campaign for better parking and road safety across the ward, particularly outside of schools.

    • We have led campaigns on street cleanliness and are not afraid to roll up our sleeves to pick up litter or do community gardening/weeding. 

    • We have continuously reported broken pavements in all parts of the ward and continue to do so.

    • We continue to challenge Greenwich Council and TFL on the traffic issues around Falconwood Station.    

    • We continue to apply pressure on utility firms so that disruptions are minimised and they clean up after works are completed.
