Labour MPs in Lambeth voted against a Liberal Democrat move to expand free bus travel for disabled people in a parliamentary debate on 10 September 2025.
The Lambeth Liberal Democrats have condemned Lambeth Labour’s shocking neglect of local residents after the Housing Ombudsman named the London Borough of Lambeth among the worst offenders in a new report on severe maladministration in housing repairs.
Freedom of Information data has revealed that Lambeth Council turns down more than two-thirds of requests from parents seeking to delay school entry for summer-born children — one of the highest rejection rates in the country.
Lambeth Labour’s “appalling record” has been exposed by the Local Government Ombudsman. For the 4th year running Lambeth had the second most housing complaints in the country, there were shocking delays, and a total failure to fix broken services.
Following the news that Labour Lambeth has lost yet another case for faulty decision-making, meaning that the closure of Fenstanton and Holy Trinity schools will not go ahead, the Liberal Democrats have attacked the Council’s “systemic failure.”
We want the Council to look again at an alternative proposal for merger, put forward by school governors, that has support of 83% of local people and is projected to save £1.5m.
