Hosting Lambeth’s Apprenticeship Ambitions Conference aimed at raising the profile of apprenticeships in our borough.

Pleased to welcome the organisers of the Streatham Festival to Parliament for a reception to thank them for their hard work putting on the festival every year.

Chatting with the Patchwork crew who were visiting Parliament. The Patchwork Foundation is a great organisation that aims to promote the integration of under-represented communities.

I led the first ever debate on gang and serious youth violence. I called on the Government to establish an independent cross-party commission to identify solutions to youth violence including knife crime.

In an important Westminster Hall debate on the proposed closure of Lambeth County Court I raised concerns about the possible impact on residents in Streatham.

Interesting visit to London South Bank University to see some of the groundbreaking technologies being developed there.

It’s been great fun joining the Crystal Palace FC Foundation’s Stockwell project for one of their sessions for young people.

In a debate on the cost of public transport I argued that the cost of travelling to and from Streatham on Govia Thameslink is unacceptable given the dreadful service that commuters receive.

Demanding the Transport Secretary gives an urgent statement on what he will do to force Southern Trains to improve their appalling service to constituents.

In the Commons I highlighted the challenges facing Lambeth Council in maintaining front-line services when the Government has cut the council’s budget by 56% since 2010.
