Budget Meeting Shocking Public Servants

As a member of the audience in the public gallery at the Tower Hamlets Budget Meeting held on Wednesday 3 March at Town hall I am shocked and appalled by the Labour Councillors reaction to sensible and poignant proposed amendments to the Budget from the Conservative party. This includes many ways to tackle the growing deficit by reducing allowances, reducing spin and reducing consultants. I am not sure what make me angrier the rudeness of the Labour councillors or their need to personally attack Council members on the other side of the bench. Do they not have any policy worthy of debate or are they just so narrow minded they think the leviathan of guttural laughter from their over expensed over advertised mouths will content the public. I am sorry no. You’ve had your time – OUT!

Crime on the Rise in Mile End East

It seems the Council have not listened to the questions on crime and things keep getting worse!

As a cyclist that cycles down the tow path on a daily basis I am shocked and appalled that these frequent canal side attacks keep happening and what shocks me more is that the Council have not done more to ensure innocent peoples safety.

I raised the issue of the dangers in the area in the Council meeting on the 9 December last year. However all I got in return were condescending remarks (attached document). Councillor Abdal Ulalh told me I had recently moved into a safe area!!!! I am sad to say he was wrong, first on the point that I had recently moved and second on the point that the area is safe.

More money needs to be used to target crime and perhaps open the Bow road police stations round the clock so the police have the resources to show a stronger presence and combat crimes before they happen. Can we not made Mile End a police action zone. I want local people to feel safe and we need to work on this.

History of East London at the Cemetery tonight

Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park
Patron: Professor David Bellamy OBE
Monday 15th March at 7pm
Followed by a FREE talk -
‘East London's growth illustrated by Coins and Tokens’
By Philip Mernick of The East London History Society @ 7.30pm
East London’s growth from Roman times to modern, and the coins people used. Also, how local people coped with the fact that there was rarely enough small change even though the majority of English coins were made locally (in The Tower of London).
The Friends of Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park would like to invite you to this very interesting and enjoyable talk that will follow our EGM.
THCP is one of London's Magnificent Seven Cemeteries and Tower Hamlets first Local Nature Reserve. Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park is a little bit of the countryside in amongst the tower blocks and old Victorian streets in East London. The Cemetery Park is a unique sanctuary for people, education and wildlife.
There is an interesting history of the park from the opening of the Cemetery in 1841, to when it was closed for burials in 1966. To tie in with its special place at the heart of Bow, this year we have invited Rev. Peet to deliver his very popular talk all about the lives of seven parishioners of Bow, one for each century from 14th century to 20th century. Highly recommended to us as a talk not to be missed.

BGB Host a great event well done!!!

Last night Jeremy Hunt MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport spoke at the BGB social event. Zakir Khan the Parliamentary Candidate for BGB, who was selected by Open Primary on Sunday introduced himself to everyone. It was hosted at the home of Julian Smith, who is the PPC for Skipton and Ripon. We were joined by Cllr Tim Archer who is PPC for our neighbouring constituency Poplar and Limehouse. So we had a potential of 4 MPs in room!!!

An evening with Jeremy Hunt MP

He is the MP tipped as “a man to watch” by the political pundits and seen by many as a leader of the future. He has transformed his post into a high-profile, agenda-setting platform. He has set the BBC’s teeth gnashing and has heralded a revolution in broadband technology. Come and hear one of the biggest shapers of modern Conservatism talk about his vision of the future, weeks ahead of a General Election.

The Mile End East fundraiser, had a great attendance from across Tower Hamlets conservatives and local residents. The message was Conservative councillors work hard, challenge the Council and hold this Labour administration to account. This follows the highly successful public meeting last month where myself and Ahmed met with local residents and gave residents a chance to quiz our policies and their priorities.
