Merton CIL will raise awareness of these issues with the candidates and parties standing in the election.

Group of people illustration 

At Craftivism & Chat in February, we hosted an interactive discussion via Zoom to help us pull together 6 things we’d like the new council to look at. Issues such as housing, accessibility, mental health support and services and more, were raised. We were also joined by Merton Citizens UK who shared information about their work around the local elections.
