On Monday evening, I joined my fellow Labour candidates in Canning Town South for a street surgery in their ward.
We managed to get into some of the newer blocks and chatted with residents about any issues or concerns they had with Newham Council, also conducting a quick survey.
I teamed up with Rohit and Aderonke (not pictured) with John M, covering alternate floors in the blocks. Apart from a few residents who were busy cooking or eating, everyone I spoke to was interested and engaged.
Common issues included ASB, parking, and litter, as well as specific concerns like ground rent, which Rohit was already on top of.
Although the elections are still a way off, the response at the doors was positive, with no negativity toward Labour and some great conversations.
As Newham Labour Group Chair, I’m making my way to all our ward street surgeries but hope to return to Canning Town South before May 7.
