On Tuesday 25th September Vauxhall Parliamentary Spokesperson Caroline Pidgeon joined Oval ward Cllr Rob Banks at a politics day at Lilian Baylis School in Vauxhall. Year 9 students held an assembly with representatives from some of the different political parties, before dividing up into small groups and focussing on the policies and ideas of each of political party.
Caroline was delighted to speak at the official opening of Dulwich Wood Nursery School and Children’s Centre on 12th September. Nursery Schools and Children’s Centres provide the valuable start in life that children need and offer access to a wide range of services such as health and parenting advice to ensure that parents have the support they need to bring up their child or children.
Cllr Caroline Pidgeon officially opened the new ceramics classroom at the Thomas Calton Adult Education Centre in Peckham on Monday 10th September.
Caroline joined her ward colleague Cllr Jelil Ladipo at the Brandon Festival on 18 August. The event had grown since last year and had the most spectacular activities for children and young people, including huge bouncy castles and slides, giant outdoor chess and other games, crazy golf, an inflatable climbing wall and trampolining. In addition there were stalls from local groups such as Friends of Kennington Park.
Caroline has been out and about supporting excellent Lib Dem candidates in two important by-elections in London.
The first is for the Haverstock Council by-election in Camden, where a team from Southwark went to help Matt Sanders and the team recently.
And now, we have a parliamentary by-election in Ealing, where the Lib Dems are in a strong second place, with local candidate Nigel Bakhai standing for the seat.
