Lift London: Childcare Costs
Parents working more. Families seeing less of each other. Across London, families are telling us the same thing.
Welcome to our new Liberal Democrat website covering the East London boroughs of Newham and Barking & Dagenham. Please take a look around to see what we stand for, what we are campaigning about, and how we are trying to make a difference, locally and nationally. Both of our boroughs have been Labour for a long time. That means they take your vote for granted and they've stopped listening to you. We want to change that. We want to provide some real debate and sensible opposition. Please tell us what you are thinking. Explain the issues that are worring you so we can help.
We stand for liberty, equality and community. If your values match our values then please join us or come and help us.

London has always been a city of opportunity. People come here to build careers, start families and create a better future. But for too many Londoners, that future is becoming harder to reach.
We are listening to Londoners concerned about the rising cost of living and how it is pushing people outside of living in London.

Burnham promised to be radical, and is trying to dress this up as urgent action, but it’s just a weak first step from the new Prime Minister.
