The first results have started coming back from the first survey of council homes in almost 16 years - and it's shown that thousands of homes aren't meeting bare minimum standards of safety and state of repair.

April Fools' Day may be over - but the fun isn't.
How many puns can Cllr Adam Hood make in Surrey Docks make in less than one minute?🤔
Liberal Democrats will freeze council tax for the poorest households, and expand the cost of living fund.
Southwark Labour, and the Labour Mayor of London, have increased council tax every single year.
Local councillors spoke against the application at the time, and have now written to the council asking for this new application of 10% affordable homes to be rejected.

Last year, Southwark Labour approved Borough Triangle whilst it offered only 17% genuinely affordable housing.
The developer has now announced it'll be even lower - just 10% affordable.
Liberal Democrats said it wasn't good enough then, and now it's even worse.
Southwark Liberal Democrats have a plan to fix Southwark's housing crisis. We'd build more council homes, and force developers to build half of all new homes as affordable to local people.

Labour have overseen a housing crisis that's left 22,000 households on the social housing waiting list, and forcing families to move out, with seven schools closing in the last few years.
In 15 out of 23 wards - zero council homes have been started by Southwark Labour.
Last night we gave Southwark Labour the opportunity to stand up for Southwark residents, and call for Keir Starmer to go.
They decided to back this failing government.
Only Liberal Democrats can stand up to this Labour government that has lost its way.

Tonight is the FINAL council assembly before the local elections.
We will be putting the record straight about how Labour have failed Southwark - and putting forward our positive plan to Fix Southwark.
In a huge win for our Dulwich Village Lib Dem team - a feasibility study into upgrading North Dulwich station will now be funded.
We've consistently campaigned on this - but when given the opportunity, Labour councillors voted against this TWICE.
Phone snatching is an epidemic across London - but Southwark hosts some of the worst hotspots in the capital.
Liberal Democrats have a plan to tackle crime and ASB in Southwark - double community safety wardens, invest in CCTV, and give our young people more opportunities.
In Southwark, diversity is our strength.
We are not an "island of strangers" as Keir Starmer claims, and we will not let Reform divide us.
Southwark Liberal Democrats are proud to have a team from all over the globe who call Southwark their home!

After 16 years of Labour let down, it's time for change.
This is our manifesto for 2026: this is How To Fix Southwark.
Southwark's social housing waiting list now stands at 22,755 households. This is a direct result of Labour's housing failure
We would overhaul Labour's rotten housing department, and roll out one stop shops so issues like disrepair and damp and mould can be fixed quickly.
Labour shamefully rejected our alternative budget last night - they're more focused on political games than delivering on residents' priorities of the cost of living, crime, and council services.
We had a fully costed plan to deliver those priorities - but Labour rejected it.
