Dan vists the All Saints Centre

Local residents queued to sign a petition in Kingston Road, to save Wimbledon Post Offices from closure. Local business people, leaders of local residents groups, the postmaster and his family all attended a protest. As a result of their hard work, this vital community resource is to remain open. The campaign was jointly organised by Amin Jamaluddin , local shop keeper Saroj Morarji and Dan Lodge.

The simple fact is that local residents want to recycle more, but they are being blocked by Merton Council who refuse to provide wheelie bins free of charge.

 'Climate change is not about us all just doing our little bit, we each have to do a lot and we look for leadership in this from local authorities'  said Dan Lodge

Dan Lodge meets the director and team at local homeless and recycling charity The Vine Project. They provide recycled furniture to families in the local area who are homeless, have fled domestic violence or are moving into accomodation with little or nothing. The scheme won the national 'Community Recycling Project of the Year' for their environmental and social work.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown meets Dan Lodge, 

 

Dan Lodge campaigned with centre users and their carers against the Conservative council's proposal to axe the All Saints day centre.  Hundreds of people signed petitions, leafletted and spoke to residents. We achieved our goal: to protect Merton's only day centre for physically disabled adults.  Thank you to all the people who have been involved in a campaign that has helped make Wimbledon a fairer place, and life better for people with physical challenges, and their carers.
