Every corner of Wandsworth thrives with culture and creativity. Our art, food and history are what makes our community great.
That's why I'm so proud that Wandsworth has been selected as London's Borough of Culture in 2025. Thanks to everyone who has worked to make this happen.
Sending my best wishes to everyone in Tooting and around the world. I hope you have a blessed Ramadan. Special thoughts and prayers going to Palestinians and all Muslims around the world enduring hardship and suffering at this time.  This week marks International Women’s Day.

Was great to be at the BATCA Community Awards celebrating the heroes who strive to make our area better. Wandsworth Labour are freezing council tax for another year to help families through the cost-of-living crisis. At the same time, we're improving services and building a better Wandsworth.
