Wanstead By Election


Out this morning campaigning in Wanstead for a council by election caused by the sad death of Cllr Allan Burgess.


Our candidate is Alex Wilson, pictured along with MEP Charles Tannock and Cllr Edwin Northover, who will be fighting for Leyton & Wanstead at the General Election, when it finally comes along.


We found a lot of support in a seat which is also being contested by Labour, Lib Dems, Greens and UKIP, as well as the BNP who bizarrely quoted Cicero in their latest leaflet.


Meanwhile, we are campaigning for a conservation area to protect the character of the New Counties Estate and to reopen the Corner House lunch club. Alex is also supporting plans for a new science block at Wanstead High School.


The election takes place on 23rd April.

There was a thread immediately before this one that seems to have been removed. Is there a reason for that?

Roger Evans said...

Yes - I'm awaiting an official letter so I can put a fuller version online.

No letter yet then?

Letter lost in the post is it?

Roger Evans said...

The letter will not be posted, but will be delivered to my desk so obviously I wouldn't be getting it over the Easter weekend. Are you bored Morris?

morris hickey said...

Only with you Roger. You are lazy, overpaid and underworked.
