Peckham Rye’s Labour councillors once again failed to all attend a community council together, and meet the people they are paid to represent.

Peckham Rye’s Labour councillors have pocketed over £120,000 of taxpayers money since the last election. Their final Community Council before they quit was last week and once again they failed to show up, with only one of them managing to attend.

So, one invisible Labour councillor didn’t attending a single community council meeting in years. Another has been caught out working as a tax avoidance expert in Somerset, 150 miles away (no wonder they had trouble making it to meetings…).

Local people are fed up with being taken for granted, and Labour still believe they deserve to represent the area – their arrogance is astonishing. Even if they had made it to their final community meeting, it is highly unlikely they would have had anything meaningful to say, after having nothing to do with the area for years..
