"It’s an incredible privilege to be awarded an OBE, and I’m truly honoured to be recognised in this way. Lewisham has been my home for over 40 years. It’s where I’ve raised my family and built my life.

Great to be speaking to voters in Lewisham West & East Dulwich today about how Labour is investing in Britain. From more money for the NHS to free school meals for all children in households getting universal credit - that’s the difference that a Labour Govt makes 🌹

Looking forward to chairing Lewisham Council Safer Stronger Communities Scrutiny Committee this evening - residents welcome to attend in person or online to watch the discussion on Anti-Social Behavior and the latest news about our Libraries

Looking forward to chairing the Healthier Communities Select Committee meeting Lewisham Council this evening.

“At the opening ceremony of Street Waders, a new sculpture by Anna Reading beside the Quaggy River, unveiled by Cllr Sakina Sheikh. Inspired by memories of Lewisham’s Great Flood of 1968, the piece acts like a weather vane. #Lewisham #Quaggy
