The cabinet has been tasked with meeting the administration’s commitment to being ambitious for everyone and to guarantee fairness for all, and to support its priorities which are making our communities safer and stronger, getting more jobs and investment for Lambeth and making sure our neighbourhoods are cleaner and greener.
Cllr Peck said: “We have re-modelled the cabinet to match our cooperative council way of working, and we are now all really keen to get on with the job.
“We have a very strong, keen and committed new team that are ready to work hard for their local communities, and to fulfil the promise we made going into the election: to be fair to everyone and ambitious for all.
“There are serious challenges to face, not least of all the huge cuts to our budget being imposed by the Government. But we are determined to do what we can and continue helping support those in need and backing people as they strive to reach their goals in life.”
