Last week I attended our local Neighbourhood Forum at Stratford Library with my West Ham Councillor colleague, John Whitworth, and fellow Labour candidate for the May 7 elections, Adjoa Kwarteng.
The forum gave local Police and Council officers a chance to update residents on what’s happening in our area, followed by round table discussions where residents could ask questions and challenge how issues are being addressed.
It was a well-attended meeting, and I moved between tables hearing concerns about crime, anti-social behaviour, highways, garden waste, street cleaning, street lighting, vermin infestations, and poor housing management.
I felt it went really well, and John, Adjoa, and I will do everything we can to ensure the commitments made by Newham officers and the Police are kept. I’ll also look into inviting more local service providers, such as housing associations and the NHS, to future meetings.
