Thanks to Councillor Barrie Hargrove and local members for joining me to listen to parents' concerns at Harris Academy Primary Peckham Park this morning. 

This morning I attended Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts' groundbreaking ceremony on its new site behind Peckham Library with Council Leader Peter John OBE and local councillors Evelyn Akoto, Barrie Hargrove and Johnson Situ. Due to open in Autumn 2018, I could not be more pleased that Mountview has found its new home in Peckham.

Mountview coming to Southwark will provide important opportunities for the hugely talented young people of Peckham to get involved in arts and theatre, open up career choices and build on Peckham's already vibrant arts scene. 

Every child has the right to explore their artistic and creative potential, and research shows creative and cultural learning supports attainment in all subjects. I look forward to working with Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, schools and Southwark Council to make this move a success for the local community and the UK's creative industries.

At the heart of the Peckham community at Angel Oak Academy Primary this morning with local councillors Barrie Hargrove, Johnson Situ and Sunny Lambe. We heard parents and the Deputy Headteacher's concerns about local issues and pupils being hit by Tory school cuts of £941 each by 2020. 

Wes Streeting has been an outstanding MP & hope for the future of Labour. Local residents greatly admire him. Big team out tonight to re-elect him! Including Margaret Hodge, John Cryer and Jim Fitzpatrick. 

Lots of Labour backing in Peckham ward this morning - thanks to local councillors Barrie Hargrove, Johnson Situ, Cleon Soanes, Rebecca Lury and the Southwark Labour team for joining me to speak to local residents. 

This morning I joined councillors, local businesses and voluntary organisations to celebrate those who do good for others in the London Borough of Southwark at Southwark Cathedral. Congratulations to all the well-deserved Civic Awards winners - including Cherie Johnson, Anne Bowers, Jo Harding, Vallin Miller, Beryl Peckham and Link Age Southwark based in Camberwell - and to the newly elected Mayor of Southwark Charlie Smith, and Deputy Mayor of Southwark Jamille Mohamed. 

Talking to parents and headteacher Denis O'Regan with local councillors Barrie Hargrove and Johnson Situ at St James the Great Primary school in Peckham this morning. The school faces cuts to vital staff. Labour opposes Tory education cuts. 

Thanks to team Southwark Labour and councillors Gavin Edwards and Renata Hamvas out in Peckham hearing from voters about the General Election 2017. 

Outrageous that Ivydale School faces Tory cuts. Solidarity from Southwark Labour Councillors Gavin Edwards, Vikki Mills, Sandra Rhules & Sunil Chopra. 

Out and about this morning at Queens Road Peckham station with team Southwark Labour and Nunhead Councillor Sandra Rhules.
