Labour’s Mary Atkins has been elected as our new local councillor winning 69% of the vote in the recent Tulse Hill ward by-election.
In a speech to mark her victory, Atkins paid tribute to Ruth Ling, the Labour councillor whose death last month prompted the by-election. “I look forward to carrying on the work of Ruth Ling, who worked so hard for Tulse Hill,” she said.
Turnout for the by-election was 20%.
