Visit to outer Newham Estates

Picture of myself with Newham Council residents in our estate in Rainham.

After a meeting in the local housing office, we went for a "walkabout" with residents and with Laura who is a Newham housing manager.

We came across a number of issues which need addressing and we will sort out.

It was good to meet again former West Ham ward Newham Councillor, Ron Manley (and his much better half Jean) who is now a local resident and quite rightly, Trouble-maker-in-Chief.

Councillor Ron Manley: 25 Years Award

Picture is from last nights Newham Council Annual General meeting in the Old Town Hall in Stratford, E15.  Ron (2nd from right) is being presented with a picture of West Ham Church by Newham Mayor, Sir Robin Wales for serving the community as a Councillor for 25 years.

Ron is my fellow Labour Councillor in West Ham Ward (with Cllr Freda Bourne).  He is orginally from Liverpool, who spent 9 years in the British Army before settling down in Newham with his wife Jean. They recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversity. Ron and Jean live in the ward and are proud to be Council tenants.
