VIDEO:Havering Labour launch their manifesto-‘We’re on your side’.

Labour candidates launch their manifesto promising to bring ‘much needed change’ to Havering.

On Saturday 12 March Havering Labour launched their manifesto at Saffron House in Romford. Local councillors joined prospective candidates to launch the manifesto that promises locals that they are the party to bring much needed change to Havering. The local party are running more candidates than before right across the borough, with the focus that they are the party that are ‘on your side.’

Saturday’s Launch presented what the team are calling a dynamic manifesto with fresh, low cost ideas and stating that Havering Labour is on the side of the ordinary people in our borough. People who go to the local park with their kids and find the play equipment broken. People who can’t get through to any of the council services by phone and speak to a real human being. People who need their housing issues addressed speedily. People who are worried about the impact of climate change.

Havering’s Labour Leader, Councillor Keith Darvill, highlighted some key issues that have affected ordinary people. He said that flood prevention across the borough needs to be properly and urgently addressed. Women’s safety will be a high priority and he wants a women’s consultative group to be urgently set up to advise on places where women feel unsafe. 

For this election, Labour has a committed team of prospective candidates across all three of our borough’s constituencies. A firefighter, a social worker, a GP, a teacher and a lawyer are among those already out on the doorstep for many months and involved with our local communities. They are prospective candidates with years of experience in local politics and young enthusiasts in their twenties who want to be serving the public at the town hall, bringing new ideas.
