Council leader addresses concerns about housing and youth provision at latest community drop-in

Q&A: Council leader Simon Hogg answers questions from residents

At the latest in a series of community drop-in events, people from the local area met with the Leader to discuss the latest local issues in an open questions and answer session. Local people also had the chance to speak to ward councillors, council officers, the local MP and police over hot drinks and other refreshments.

Simon Hogg listened to concerns from local people and answered questions on council housing, energy bills, recycling collections, and the use of e-bikes in the borough. Councillor Hogg also directed attendees to the Falcon Road bridge design competition currently underway, where local people can vote on new designs to upgrade the dilapidated bridge in Clapham Junction.

Simon said: "We are striving to have the cleanest, safest streets in London. It was vital that I came to listen to local residents today and hear their concerns and what issues are important to the people. These events give the opportunity for me, other Councillors and Council services to hear issues first-hand - whether that's discussing the safer cycling routes, our Access for All scheme or concerns about youth provision in the area."

At each community drop-in event, there is an 'ideas map' of the borough where people can feed back on areas they feel need investment or improvements. We regularly hold community drop-ins across the borough to provide an opportunity for you to discuss important topics and find out more about Council services.

Partner organisations including Neighbourhood Watch and Citizens Advice Wandsworth were also at the event to provide information and advice.
