Met Police progress in closing £260m funding gap 27 police front counters will remain open

I am very pleased that the Met Police
have listened to me & other #Hillingdon residents and thought again about closing Hayes police station's front counter. It's unacceptable that under the previous proposal, NW London would be without a counter service.

Revealed: Labour-run council using legal loophole to serve families with no-fault evictions Exclusive: London council created an arm’s-length body to manage some of its housing stock

In the words of Neil Kinnock ..... A Labour council, a LABOUR council, hiring taxis and skuttling around the city handing section 21 eviction notices to its own tenants !!!! This is what factional control freakery leads to. Absolutely appalling.

Pleased to announce Cllr Scott Farley joined the Hayes Independent Party this morning, after leaving the Labour Party & its toxic environment in September. So its a warm welcome to Scott, who is now the 5th member of the Hayes Independent group on the council.

I would like to officially welcome Cllr Rita Judge to the Hayes Independent Party Group of councillors. Rita left the Labour Party and joined us. So our group is growing. Now, up to 4 councillors. With the prospect of more to join.

What better on a showery Friday afternoon, than a trip to Windsor and Eton and a coffee and delicious Orange cake at the wonderful Enigma Eton coffee shop.

Today is 29th August and in Sainsbury's we have Panettone, mince pies and Christmas puddings. They all have use by dates long before Christmas.

England to sell eight times more council homes than it built last year, report finds Depletion of social housing stock spurs calls for councils to have first refusal to buy ex-council homes entering market

This is why there is a housing crisis. Its not immigration, its the lack of social housing with truly affordable rents.

Food for thought .... Manipulation is when they focus on how you reacted instead of how they treated you

Not to mention the demolition of the historic Heathrow villages plus the pollution, noise, increased asthma which will need more hospital and medical intervention. Etc. Etc. Etc. In what world is any of this worth a messily 0.43% growth. Absolutely crazy !!!

Heathrow Airport's third runway expansion plans to cost £49bn Heathrow says expansion is

So a foreign owned company thats got £17 billion debt, proposes to spend £49 billion on a major project that includes rerouting roads & rivers etc with the best outcome being just 0.43% growth, which will be wiped out by the inevitable government bail out.

Heathrow Expansion – the Colne Valley Regional Park’s position - Colne Valley Regional Park We remain publicly and determinedly opposed to the plans to expand Heathrow Airport, which will cut the Park in two, changing it for ever. 1200 acres of Green Belt will be lost and many more hundreds ...

Heathrow’s misleading visualisation. In fact building a third runway over 1200 hectares of green belt, 2 villages, 5 rivers and the M25 will be catastrophic and unimaginably disruptive for the environment and people

'Labour tried to pressure me to back 3rd runway - we can't lose local autonomy' EXCLUSIVE: Hillingdon Labour says its position is unchanged, but admits it will "revisit" the issue when further plans are published

Hillingdon Labour Group's new Leadership says its opposition to a 3rd runway remains unchanged, but they will "Revisit" the issue when further plans are published.

Humm, looks like they are getting ready to betray the residents of the Heathrow villages and beyond.

This is how low the Labour Party has now sunk. An MP standing up for people without a voice, like the disabled and the vulnerable, is considered a "knobhead". How insulting. This is not Labour Values, its disgusting

Labour not learning lessons from deaths of domestic abuse victims, report finds Exclusive: ‘Deeply concerning’ oversight as government fails to act on recommendations made after victim’s death

I hate to say, Labour have lost their way. In Hillingdon they have just deselected the very hard working, borough appointed, Domestic Abuse Victims Advocate, Cllr Janet Gardner after 30+ years dedicated public service. Plus they are ignoring safeguarding concerns

Bread Pudding cut in half

Today I made a bread pudding. Pure comfort food. Always reminds me of my Nan, who used to make lovely bread pudding when we were kids. And my sister used to make a wicked bread pudding. So this always reminds me of them. Trouble is once I start eating it, I can't stop

Steve Coogan accuses Labour of paving way for Reform UK Exclusive: Actor says Keir Starmer’s party has caused a ‘derogation of all the principles they were supposed to represent’

Steve Coogan hits the nail on the head. All our problems are down to the 40 odd yearsvof government's following the same crazy neoliberal economic agenda. The people voted for change and got more of the same and worse.

For the avoidance of doubt, The Hillingdon Labour Group remains resolutely and unequivocally 100% AGAINST a 3rd Runway at Heathrow. We want a "Better Heathrow, NOT a Bigger Heathrow."

The Labour Government has confirmed an investment of over £1 billion to deliver the new Hillingdon Hospital with construction to begin in 2027-2028.

🚨Labour Government CONFIRMS the delivery of the new Hillingdon Hospital🚨

After years of the Conservatives, nationally and locally, misleading residents - this Government has awarded over £1 billion to deliver our new state-of-the-art hospital.

My statement below 🏥👇

Unfortunately it's called "opportunism". I really wish political campaigning returned to proper campaigning, rather than meaningless selfies, opportunistic band wagon jumping, and American style campaigns.

At the Hillingdon call for action. White Ribbon day event today. Domestic abuse, in all it's forms, is such an horrific crime. In Hillingdon this is above party politics and we work cross party with the Excellent dynamic duo of Cllr Jane Palmer and Cllr Janet Gardner
