We show that a locally compact semigroup S is topological left amenable iff a certain space of left uniformly continuous functions on the convolution semigroup of probability measures M0(S) on S is left amenable or equivalently iff the convolution semigroup M0(S) has the fixed point property for uniformly continuous affine actions on compact convex sets.
