Hammersmith and Fulham Liberal Democrats are campaigning to boost recycling in the borough, and to improve our local environment with cleaner streets and fly-tipping and graffiti dealt with more quickly. They want to see better action taken against anti-social behaviour, more visible policing and the boosting of Neighbourhood Watch and the Safer Neighbourhood Scheme to cut crime.
Local Liberal Democrats are also working to save Farm Lane Post Office from closure. You can find out more and sign the petition on their website.
