With Cllr Jo Blackman I’ve written to the Environment Agency & Thames Water over chronic illegal discharges into the River Roding. Recent days have seen a marked, visible worsening, with residents being warned not to enter the water.

Lovely to catch up with Eddy Smythe at a celebration of the Tapestry of Black Britons, which commemorates the hundreds of thousands of African, Caribbean and Black British service people who fought in the Second World War.

Proud to back Waltham Forest's bid for DCMS Local Youth Transformation and Young Futures Hubs funding. 📝 Having seen the real difference programmes like Space4All make for young people first-hand, this investment would help expand that support across the borough, right when it's needed most.
