Prior to becoming Leader, Lib served in a number of senior positions within the Lambeth Cabinet, securing  £450 million programme of investment into Lambeth’s housing, developed the Lambeth Homes Standard, and has been instrumental in bringing new leisure facilities to the borough in Clapham, Streatham and Norwood. Housing has been a key focus of Lib’s political career to date. As portfolio holder she was responsible for a significant drop in the number of empty council homes in Lambeth, as well putting housing budgets on a steady footing by tackling a £12 million deficit and improving levels of rent collection.

Lib has also been instrumental in bringing new jobs and homes to the borough through the Vauxhall Nine Elms Development, for which she serves as Co-Chair of the partnership over seeing the regeneration project.
