Last week for the second time within a municipal year a Liberal Democrat motion passed through Camden’s Full Council - showing that we are the real opposition on the Council.

Our motion calling for an end to Section 21 (the clause of the 1988 Housing Act that allows landlords to evict tenants for no reason) passed with Labour support after the Conservatives shamefully abstained.

Pesticides, particularly glyphosate, are causing a catastrophic collapse of invertebrate species and are threatening human health.

"Last year, Camden Labour appointed an EU citizens ‘champion’ for the borough.

Our Liberal Democrat group supported the creation of the role, though we expressed concerns about the appointment process.

Eight months on, our champion has gone quiet.

The Liberal Democrats are delighted to announce that Siobhan Benita will be the party’s candidate for the London Mayoral elections in May 2020, and will lead the campaign for the London Assembly elections.
