Will you join me in thanking Councillors and council staff across Lambeth and Southwark for their work throughout the recent period of national mourning and their role in ensuring the queue for the lying-in-state of Queen Elizabeth II, which was mainly in the two boroughs, was safe and secure? As you will know, due to pressures to maintain street cleanliness, many parks and street cleaners in Southwark and parts of Lambeth worked an extra 24 hours during Queen Elizabeth’s lying-in-state period.
