It's time for a fresh start. Vote Rokhsana Fiaz as your Labour candidate for Mayor of Newham

It's time. To vote Rokhsana as your Labour candidate for Newham Mayor Dear Member, With less than 2 days to go there’s not much time left to vote for me as your Labour candidate for Mayor of Newham. Voting closes at 12:00 noon this coming Friday, 16th March. Every vote will count in this election so please remember to cast your vote for me if you haven't already to deliver a fresh start, a new vision and a new way of doing things for the residents of Newham. Because it’s time for change.  It’s time for a Labour Mayor that brings our party and our residents together to fight for fairness in tough times. It's time for a determined Labour Newham Mayor to protect local services. Yesterday's Spring Budget won't alleviate pressures on families or our public services which are at breaking point. Ending the financial crisis facing local councils, who are facing a £5.8 billion funding gap, can only be delivered by a Labour government; and with me as your Labour Mayor to protect our most vulnerable and local services for our residents. It’s time to put people at the heart of everything we do as a Labour Council through democratising how we do things for and with our people. And it’s time to be truly radical again - so that we can show what Labour can achieve for the many at local level. Read my pledges here which will deliver more homes for social rent, decent jobs, cleaner air and genuine life chances for all our children and young people. You can also read more about my vision and plans for Newham via www.rokhsana.org. I’m delighted to have the support of the two largest trade unions in the county, UNISON and UNITE, as well the CWU union and Lyn Brown MP for West Ham. They believe in my ability to deliver the best for Newham. They know that as your Mayor I will deliver on my promises on genuinely affordable housing, including many at social rent levels; and protect the land we own so that we can build housing for the people of Newham.   Elect me to be your Mayoral candidate and I give you my word that I will deliver for you and all Newham residents. Best wishes,   Rokhsana

"I can think of nobody better to be the Mayor of Newham than her" ....Rokhsana Fiaz for Newham Mayor

Great letter of endorsement for Rokhsana Fiaz as Newham Labour Mayoral Candidate by our West Ham MP, Lyn Brown.

After some quite disgusting and frankly vile comments and deliberate untruths by "supporters" of the incumbent, Lyn has obviously felt that she has no choice but to step in and show her support for Rokhsana. 

Vote Rokhsana for Newham Mayoral Ballot #RokhsTheVote

I have come back today from UNISON Community conference and have just voted online for the candidate supported by Greater London UNISON Labour Link, Rokhsana Fiaz.

Rokhsana is committed to policies which are very important to UNISON's such as building 1000 homes at a social rent; anti-privatisation of public schools and services and a massive increase in youth provision to counter the knife and acid crime epidemic in Newham.

She is also a tough, intelligent, pragmatic, no nonsense leader, who has the skills and experiences to the job.

It is also about time that Newham (and London) had a female directly elected Mayor (DEM). There is only two female Labour DEM out of 24 in the entire country. 

We also need change in Newham and we need someone who can be a unifying force to unite the Party in order to win in the local elections in May.
