The leader of Lambeth Council has “vehemently denied” allegations of sexual harassment and unwanted touching, according to a report in The Guardian on May 16. The story revealed that leader Cllr Jack Hopkins is being investigated by Labour for the allegations, which it says were made to the party by a woman in March this year. The news came a week after Cllr Hopkins announced he was stepping down as leader. In a move that was a shock to many, Lambeth Council released a statement on May 10 in which the councillor said he believed it was time to “hand over the reins to a new leader” as the “roadmap out of the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions progresses”.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions the event will be live streamed from 11am. The online broadcast will feature the 15 official guests taking part in the unveiling, including Mrs Groce’s family. Dorothy ‘Cherry’ Groce was shot by police when they raided her house looking for her son. Four of her children were at home at the time, while her son was never charged. Cherry was left paralysed from the waist down. Two days of riots ensued as the community protested institutional racism and systemic injustice faced by Black people. In 2011, Mrs Groce contracted an infection which led to kidney failure, and she passed away on Easter Sunday.
