Southwark Labour Councillors in London Bridge & West Bermondsey are delivering £2.6 million of investment into the local community.
This is part of Labour’s £20 million of investment in neighbourhoods across Southwark, which comes as a result of the continued success of local planning policies. Labour’s local planning policies have generated millions of pounds from developers in Southwark via the Community Infrastructure Levy.
The funds have been allocated following conversations with local communities, with residents at the heart of decisions on local investment.
As a result, millions of pounds are to be invested in infrastructure projects such as over £500,000 for new security doors for the St Saviour’s Estate, as well as upgrading playgrounds, parks and more.
Cllr Sam Dalton, Labour councillor for London Bridge & West Bermondsey, said:
“Every day we speak to our residents about what is most important to them and what is needed to improve the local area. Thanks to Labour’s policies, our taxes on big developers mean we have had £2.6 million to invest in our neighbourhoods.
That is why as local Labour councillors we are prioritising making our estates safer, our parks cleaner and our playgrounds state of the art – because these are the issues our residents tell us are most important to them.”
