The event was the first community-focused meeting in the borough which brought together the leader, Simon Hogg, with ward councillors, the local MP Fleur Anderson and council officers to meet residents for informal conversations and advice on accessing council services.
Councillor Simon Hogg said: “Finding out what really matters to local residents is part of our pledge to get the whole borough involved in shaping the future of Wandsworth and making it fairer for everyone who lives here. It was brilliant to talk to so many local people who came along to get answers, support and advice.”
As well as quizzing Councillor Hogg on neighbourhood concerns, residents spoke face-to-face with council staff about issues including housing, street cleaning and estates maintenance and made suggestions for improvements in the local area.
Once confirmed, future local coffee morning events will be listed on the council website.
