I want to thank the people of Lewisham for placing their faith in me. Serving this special borough that I have the privilege to call home is the greatest honour of my life. I pledge to work tirelessly for you, and will always have your best interests at heart.

I’m so proud of my Mum Brenda Dacres. Good luck today in the by-election to become the next Mayor of Lewisham.

You always work hard and I know you’ll work hard for Lewisham.

Spending the day with Lewisham’s unpaid carers restored my faith in human kindness. Help is on hand from Lewisham Council. But carers in our community deserve support from everyone. A small act of kindness from you to them can go a long way.

It's been a long, hard slog - through a pandemic and a cost of living crisis - but Ofsted have confirmed the great progress Lewisham's children's social care service has made.

A lot done, more still to do - but massive congratulations to our fantastic staff.

Congratulations to Lewisham & Greenwich Trust for retaining a CQC 'Good' for maternity services at both Lewisham Hospital and Queen Elizabeth. Lewisham Hospital's maternity also received 'Outstanding' for leadership lewishamandgreenwich.nhs.uk/latest-news/lg…

I am humbled by the support of our members and community so far 🌹

Lewisham Labour members - please log into the hustings tonight, and together we will lead the change for Lewisham.

As Mayor I will establish a programme of paid work experience placements to give the next generation greater opportunities.

As well as working with existing employers to implement the scheme I will work to seed new industries like green skills and gaming so we have more high…

Tory austerity has created a housing crisis in Lewisham. I will prioritise ending mould, damp and unsafe living conditions in our social homes.

I will crack down on rogue landlords, provide more supported living homes and create partnerships to regenerate our housing estates…

I pledge to stop food insecurity for our young people and abolish long term hunger.

My priority is to create a Young People’s Commission to fundraise, coordinate and build support for young people, creating a sign-posting hub where they can find the help they need easily.

My priority is to set up a climate retrofit team in the Town Hall to enable more residents to insulate their homes. We will prioritise Green Funding for all new buildings - providing homes that are nicer to live in, cheaper to run and better for the environment.

As Mayor I will…

Thank your for your support Alex and bump 🤰🏻

Alex is a mum with a three year old and a baby on the way.

Our families make our borough special, I’m delighted to have Alex’s backing to be the next Mayor of Lewisham.
