Ask TVoA: Cllr Ross Garrod, Leader, Merton Council

May's election in Merton was won by Labour with a strong majority, but the Liberal Democrats claimed 17 seats compared to seven in 2018 and the leader, councillor Mark Allison, lost his seat.

Was Labour's manifesto strong enough on growth and renewal? Is new leader, councillor Ross Garrod, directing Merton on a course "steady as she goes"? Or can he generate a new energy to tackle fully the inertia gripping longstanding proposals to regenerate Wimbledon and Morden town centres?

How will Labour's prioritisation of new SEND facilities, support for local economies and improved health services influence regeneration and estate renewal programmes? And what opportunities are offered by the proposed new Climate Bond and other environmental measures?

Tune in to Ask The Voice of Authority at 9am on 14 July to find out. And keep an eye on our Twitter and LinkedIn feeds for your chance to put your own question to Councillor Garrod.
