“I attended the launch of the BAME manifesto in Wolverhampton following the launch of Labour's BAME Manifesto in Leicester by Ed Miliband. I was joined by Labour politicians Pat McFadden, Rachael Reeves, Rob Marris, John Spellar, and Unison Regional Secretary Ravi Subramanian.”

"I was delighted to welcome the Labour Party BAME bus to Walsall South. Keith Vaz who coordinates BAME activities met with members of the community to discuss Labour party policy for the BAME community. At the meeting people were able to voice their concerns about the neighbourhood. It was a very useful discussion."

Today the Labour Party set out our vision for a better and fairer Britain: http://www.labour.org.uk/manifesto/

"I attended the latest Open Day at Caldmore Community gardens to celebrate Vaisakhi. It is a great space which has become a delightful community garden owing to the hard work of the volunteers who were digging and planting vegetables to sell. The gardens have been supported by WHG, Caldmore Gurdwara, Sanctury Housing and Walsall MBC. This is a fantastic community resource which will enable people to meet, benefit from outdoor activities and help with health and wellbeing. An outdoor cinema is also planned for the summer months."

"Dalkeith Street on a Sunday afternoon was very responsive to the Labour message; along with Cllr Hussein and Cllr Nawaz we spoke to residents who were concerned about the litter and fly tipping. As a result there will be a deep clean of Dalkeith Street which will take place on Thursday 16 April. Shokt Faisal who lived on the street told me the street had changed and we need to have a public awareness campaign about litter and to encourage people to look after their area. A clean up of the street will take place on Thursday 16 April. Hopefully this will encourage people not to drop letter or to fly tip. "
