The lack of progress 15 months after the Climate Emergency that Southwark Council declared in March 2019, has been slammed by the Opposition Southwark Liberal Democrat Council Group.

The Lib Dem group successfully called in Labour’s recent cabinet report to scrutiny by raising concerns that the Council was hiding behind the pandemic by reducing consultation on the Climate Strategy. They now call for the Council to work harder to ensure that this does not happen.

The Southwark Liberal Democrat Council Group has written to the Leader and Chief Executive of the Council with a list of 30 suggestions to help Southwark residents and businesses during the lockdown.

The letter thanks council staff for all they have done and offers a set of practical and constructive recommendations for what more can be done.

The Lib Dems have also offered to work cooperatively with the Council administration in a cross-party group to focus on the borough’s medium and long term challenges.
