Campaign Update

We are a little over half-way through the official campaign period, with less than two weeks until the council and general elections on 6 May! The Labour candidates have been out every day talking to voters, and we have been encouraged by their response so far. Many people have reacted well to our three local promises:

1. Invest to stop the increase in crime experienced in North End. We feel the Council should invest in 24/7 patrols for the area. Many other areas in London have these, and they are a brilliant way to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.

2. Halt plans to demolish the West Ken and Gibbs Green estates. We want to do this to protect both the homes of the 800 families on the estates and the quality of life of those in the area, most of whom don't want to have front-row seats to a mega-construction project that will stretch over many years.

3. Urgently review parking arrangements to end the inconveniences experienced by local residents on Chelsea match days.

We developed these promises after spending the past few years talking to local residents, and we are proud that they are all contained in the Labour manifesto for Hammersmith and Fulham, launched earlier this week. With only 12 campaigning days to go, we still hope to cover a lot of ground and speak to as many of you as possible. We hope to see you soon.
