2015

“When I visited Dalkeith Street last week residents told me about the litter and the fly-tipping. Thanks to local activist Shokt Fiasal and Cllr Khizar Hussein, Walsall Council agreed to a super clean. The Clean and Green Service did a fantastic job of tidying up and clearing the street. This is what a Labour Council can do for residents. A Labour Government will ensure that locally raised income will stay with Councils. The average cut in the spending power of Walsall Council by the Coalition Government is £140.34 per household.”

“Our Childcare Plan for the next Parliament to help working parents has been launched. The rising costs of childcare is putting even more pressure on parents who are already struggling with the cost-of-living crisis.”

“On Wednesday 15 April, Walsall College held a Voter Registration Day. It was fantastic to see and speak to so many young people who are engaging with politics. This was a brilliant initiative by Walsall College who had set up an Electoral Registration Point inside the college so students could register on the day.”

“It was a great pleasure to meet with the keep fit class of elderly citizens who regularly use the Temple in Ford Street. The members of the community who formed this great resource discussed issues about health and the local environment. It was good to see the participation of a healthy lifestyle.”

“On Tuesday 14 April 2015 I attended Darlaston Town (1874) FC AGM at Bentley Leisure Pavilion.”
