It was incredible to attend the launch of the @BatterseaPwrStn in #NineElms yesterday evening. It’s an outstanding demonstration of what visionary leadership can achieve. Massive congratulations to the thousands of people who played a role in turning the power back on in style!🧵

It's easy to forget that #NineElms was a derelict industiral wasteland just 10 years ago. Now it is transformed into the UK's newest town centre, with a new tube station, and more community facilities still to come. It’s a huge honour to serve as a councillor for our community

The Battersea Power Station has been a key part of the UK's cultural scene for decades. It was amazing to see a tribute to the contribution it has made - and will continue to make - across the arts, in television, music, and film 🎭

The @BatterseaPwrStn has delivered 1000s of new jobs & homes, and supported the #Wandsworth community. From the @WBCWorkMatch partnership, to the outstanding Community Choir and @PowertoConnect scheme which supported families through covid. THANK YOU for everything you have done

The Battersea Power Station is now an engine of opportunity and social mobility for the UK economy. It simply would not have happened if it wasn't for a Conservative-led #Wandsworth Council working with community groups and the private sector. An incredible legacy 💙
