Southwark Council and European Elections – Thursday 22nd May 2014 (7am-10pm)

Southwark Elections:
Labour is delivering a fairer future for all in Southwark

Four years ago, the voters of Southwark elected a Labour council who promised to make our community safer, our children healthier and make you better off. Since Labour took over control of Southwark Council in 2010 we have frozen council tax, rolled out free, healthy school meals for all primary school children and invested £326 million to make every council home warm, dry and safe.

Southwark Labour will continue to deliver a fairer future for all in Southwark by:
Creating quality, affordable homes
Supporting the best start in life
Building a strong local economy
Supporting healthy and active lives
Getting the basics right, and
Taking pride in our borough

See the Labour Southwark local manifesto for 2014
