Camden Labour 🌹

Today Camden Labour councillors and volunteers were out speaking with residents in West Hampstead 🌹

We began at West Hampstead Library which the council has recently invested in to cut the carbon from its operations 😃

Many thanks to all who came along to help out in the run up to the by-election!

EXCLUSIVE: Tory councillor abused store staff and threatens to shut the shop over parcel dispute - Better Retailing A Conservative councillor has been urged to step down, after threatening to shut down a retailer’s shop and physically abusing staff

Deputy Leader of Camden Tories Shiva Tiwari’s abusive behaviour towards shop staff — in a business in his own ward — is appalling & wholly unacceptable.

This falls far below the standards expected of any Camden Cllr.

Shiva must resign & the whip must immediately be removed.

Braved the 🌧️ to join Friends of St George's Gardens for their annual summer party this afternoon - proof you don't need to be a kid to find Punch & Judy hilarious 😆

In Camden, we believe we will be a fairer, more creative and innovative place to work, visit and live in if we can harness different perspectives and experience.

That’s why we are fully committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion.

There was an incident in Dennington Park Road in the early hours of this morning. I have just spoken to the police officers who are currently conducting a forensic search of the area. The road is taped off but will reopen soon. No more detail at this stage.
