Red Lines is a campaign run by Labour councillors to stand up for Londoners against damaging Tory government cuts. We are coming together from across the capital to speak out against the government's short-sighted austerity and to protect the vital public services on which Londoners rely.
Since being established in 2015, Red Lines has campaigned on important issues facing London -
-
Mind the Gap - independent research commissioned by Red Lines warned of the funding gap facing vital services for older people and those with care needs.
-
Opposing Tory Cuts - as councils across London are forced to make difficult choices on services, Labour councillors stood together against Tory cuts.
-
Saying "No" to the Tory Tenant Tax - Labour councillors stood together to oppose, and defeat, the unfair Tory Tenant Tax, which would have seen some people living in council homes forced to pay an extra 15% in tax.
-
Warned of the impact on the NHS of cuts to councils - councils provide vital services that support people, and which help keep people out of hospital, saving the NHS vital resources; Tory cuts are threatening these services.
-
Urged the Chancellor to use the 2017 Budget to support services - Labour councillors called for action on staff pay, housing and vital children's social care.
