Positions, Voting Record & Activity Summary

Last updated: 3 months ago

Councillor Amanda Lloyd-Harris has demonstrated a consistent and evolving commitment to council service across her tenure, with a particularly strong and detailed focus on health, social care, and environmental issues in recent years. Her activity in 2025 significantly amplified her engagement, building upon the foundations laid in 2024.

Key Themes and Priorities:

  • Health and Social Care: This has been a persistent and central theme. In 2024, she strongly opposed a primary care access proposal, citing concerns about viability, evidence, and patient anxiety. In 2025, this focus intensified with her questioning of geographical investment disparities in health, the effectiveness of interventions, and seeking detailed information on nursing home placements and vaccine uptake in asylum hotels. She also expressed a nuanced view on service direction, acknowledging potential challenges like rising wages.
  • Budgetary Matters and Opposition: Lloyd-Harris consistently voted AGAINST the Revenue Budget and Council Tax Levels in 2024, indicating a strong stance as part of the Opposition. In 2025, she continued to advocate for the Opposition, speaking on special motions regarding Uxbridge Road.
  • Environmental Oversight and Development Impact: A new and significant focus emerged in 2025 with her joining the Climate Change and Ecology Policy and Accountability Committee. Here, she actively questioned environmental oversight, bylaw enforcement, and the impact of new developments. While her tenure on this committee was brief, her engagement was notable.
  • Public Realm and Local Infrastructure: In late 2025, her participation in the Economy, Arts, Sports, and Public Realm Committee highlighted her attention to detail on projects ranging from the Black History Project and highway roadworks to waste and recycling, and markets and street trading licensing. She offered constructive suggestions and raised concerns about security, costs, and enforcement.
  • Remembrance and Council Tradition: Lloyd-Harris has consistently participated in council traditions, delivering speeches of remembrance for former councillors in both 2024 and 2025.

Evolution of Focus:

While health and social care, and her role within the Opposition, have been consistent threads, Lloyd-Harris's priorities in 2025 broadened significantly to include a more direct and detailed engagement with environmental policy and the intricacies of public realm projects. Her active questioning and suggestions in these areas in 2025 demonstrate a deepening of her council work beyond her established concerns.

Most Significant Contributions (Especially in Recent Years):

In 2025, her detailed scrutiny of health and social care disparities and her active questioning within the Climate Change and Ecology committee stand out. Her constructive input on projects within the Economy, Arts, Sports, and Public Realm committee, particularly regarding security, costs, and enforcement for markets and street trading, also represent significant contributions. Her consistent opposition to budgetary proposals in 2024 also marks a clear and sustained stance.

Patterns and Consistent Areas of Interest:

  • Scrutiny and Questioning: Lloyd-Harris consistently demonstrates a keen ability to scrutinize proposals, ask pertinent questions, and seek detailed information, particularly in areas of health, social care, and, more recently, environmental policy and public realm management.
  • Advocacy for the Opposition: Her voting record and speeches in 2024 and 2025 clearly indicate a role as a vocal member of the Opposition.
  • Commitment to Council Procedures: She actively participates in committee meetings and Full Council, engaging with debates and offering her perspective.
  • Attention to Detail: Her contributions in late 2025 to the Economy, Arts, Sports, and Public Realm committee showcase a meticulous approach to understanding and improving specific council initiatives.

Yearly Activity Timeline

Throughout 2025, Councillor Amanda Lloyd-Harris demonstrated consistent engagement across various council committees and meetings. She began the year by delivering speeches of remembrance for former councillors and actively participating in council debates, notably seconding and speaking in favor of motions concerning Charing Cross Hospital and the Revenue Budget. A significant theme in her activity was her focus on health and social care, where she raised concerns about geographical investment disparities, questioned the effectiveness of interventions, and sought information on nursing home placements and vaccine uptake in asylum hotels. She also expressed optimism about service direction while highlighting potential challenges like rising wages. Lloyd-Harris joined the Climate Change and Ecology Policy and Accountability Committee in July, where she actively questioned environmental oversight, bylaw enforcement, and the impact of new developments. However, she was removed from this committee in October. In the latter half of the year, she continued to advocate for the Opposition, speaking on special motions regarding Uxbridge Road. Her participation in the Economy, Arts, Sports, and Public Realm Policy and Accountability Committee in November showcased her attention to detail on projects like the Black History Project, highway roadworks, waste and recycling, and markets and street trading licensing, where she offered constructive suggestions and raised pertinent concerns about security, costs, and enforcement.

Monthly Activity in 2025

During the November 19th, 2025 Economy, Arts, Sports, and Public Realm Policy and Accountability Committee meeting, Councillor Amanda Lloyd-Harris actively participated in discussions on several key areas. Regarding the Black History Project Update, she acknowledged progress and suggested involving the BBC and Fulham Palace archives, advocating for a central collection location. In highway roadworks, she inquired about the link between congestion and Hammersmith Bridge closures, night-time works, pre-sign-off inspections, and the use of Lane Rental Charges elsewhere. For waste and recycling, she supported the proposal for small electrical goods, raised a security concern about unreturned bins, and sought clarification on garden waste collection costs, noting service inconsistencies. Finally, on the Draft Markets and Street Trading Licensing Policy, she welcomed it but voiced concerns about enforcement capacity, council intervention in self-employed traders' absences, and temporary license limits, suggesting document condensation and broader consultation methods.
