Thank you to everyone from Bow and beyond who joined our public meeting on the use of Victoria Park for festivals.

This isn’t about stopping people having fun over the summer, it’s about finding a solution that works for local residents and keeps the park accessible to all.

Alongside my neighbouring Labour MPs @rushanaraa and @meghilliermp, we’ve heard your concerns loud and clear.

We are united in making sure your voices are heard by Tower Hamlets Council and AEG, and that you have a real say as residents in decisions about the park’s future.

Victoria Park is the People’s Park – and it’s only right that the people have a say in how it’s used.

Watch to hear more about our next steps 👇🏾

My uncle lost his life to Covid died alone in hospital. Ring of protection wasn't challenged,some lives were clearly dispensable. No sick pay or PPE. Now a pay rise 2.5% 🤔 for NHS do we really ever learn or just move on.

The ocean connects us all, and protecting it is a responsibility we share.

Protecting our oceans enhances our collective security and ensures that we leave the world in a better place than we found it.

Yesterday’s signing of the Hamilton II Declaration marks an important step in building international support for the conservation of the Sargasso Sea and delivering on our global ambitions for nature and climate.

⚠️🔥 This is what happens when electrical items end up in your household waste and recycling bins.

After collecting a household bin in E13 containing an electrical item, one of our waste collection vehicles caught fire.

Interesting new 10 min rule bill from Leigh Ingham and other towns MPs’ No Reward for Neglect campaign 🏫

Would stop councils compulsorily purchasing empty buildings having to pay absent landlords’ legal fees - a big deterrent to tackling vacant units: https://t.co/8Af9s93a2w
