Council Leader attends community drop-in event in Battersea Park and St Mary’s

The morning featured a Q&A session where residents raised questions about the council’s work to tackle the cost of living crisis, e-bikes on pavements, fly-tipping and investing in and protecting Battersea Park for all residents to enjoy. 

Council Leader Simon Hogg said: “We are a listening council and having these drop-in sessions help us to understand what means most to our communities and how we can work together to make real improvements in the area.” 

Simon Hogg was joined by ward councillors, representatives from Citizens Advice Wandsworth, the local police team, and council officers from housing, waste and recycling, and community safety.
