I led our first campaigning session since the General Election this afternoon with Cllr Rachel Tripp and local Labour party activists Rania Ramli & Heather Jones. We are more determined than ever to not only increase our presence around Forest Gate North ward but gain Labour supporters and members. Our aim is to start doorknocking at the west side of the ward- Maryland (Janson Road) and work our way by December (hopefully!) to the east side of the ward (Capel Road).

There were lots of positive and constructive conversations on the doorstep (I think the great weather helped) and it was really lovely to meet more active residents in Maryland. Just to show off a bit – 6 new members from Maryland have joined Forest Gate North Labour party in the last 7 weeks so we delivered a welcome letter and an invitation to our ward meeting with Changing London next Thursday to each one of them. Our next campaigning session is a Street Stall at The Woodgrange Market, Sat 11th July from 10am pop along, say ‘ello and/or become an official Labour Supporter for just £3!!
