We are a month on from the local elections, there has been a lot of change and all eyes are on @LBofHavering. Today I have written to the new Leader of the Council outlining a plan to deliver for the people I represent in the south of the borough.
Here are some highlights from my week in Parliament and Dagenham & Rainham. ✨
Don’t forget, we’re still looking for someone to chair our Heath Ward Pride in Place Board. Details here. 👇👀

I know, from speaking with schools and parents across Dagenham & Rainham, that this has made a huge difference to families in our area. This is Labour at its best. 🌹👇
Good to see Trade Unions, the chair of Dagenham and Rainham CLP Fay Hough, and the two Beam Park councillors at the LGBTQ+celebration. As the flag raising was cancelled by the Reform lead Council. It’s so important that Havering diverse communities, are recognised for all they contribute. 🏳️🌈
Before the May 7th election we reported a number of pavement defects along Glebe Road, Rainham. We have received an email from the council that the areas have now been repaired.
Yesterday we also reported pavement disrepair opposite Rainham station 📝💻
🚨 Exciting opportunity ‼️
😊 Are you a people person?
❤️ Passionate about positive change?
🧑💻 Organised and driven?
I’m looking for a Community Engagement and Campaigns Officer to manage my volunteer network, organise events and lead campaigns. 👀👇

Waste criminals have blighted Dagenham and Rainham for too long. This Action Plan sends a clear message: fly-tip illegally and face the consequences. Havering Council must step up — offenders should help clear dumped waste and pay the full clean-up costs.

Who is paying that bill. The tax payer ! Shocking.

Patriotism is about quiet contribution, community, and treasuring the things which make Britain great. Not mouthing off and pointing fingers of blame to make a few quid off people’s fear. That isn’t pride. “Tommy” isn’t a patriot, he’s a prat. @hopenothate

Following my SEND roundtable, I have made a submission to @bphillipsonMP as part of the consultation on the govt White Paper. Thanks to all the SEND parents, professionals and schools in Dagenham & Rainham for sharing your frank and honest thoughts. Getting this right is vital.
A huge thank you to every single person who put a ❌ next to our name on Thursday. This isn’t the end for us, we will continue to work with @Margaret4DR on residents issues ensuring residents voices are heard. Congratulations to Reform & HRA for winning the Ward.
Today is polling day! You have three votes in your Local Council elections. If you live in Rainham and Wennington Ward please vote Labour 🌹We will ensure residents voices are always put first!

Last month alone we spoke to 476 residents on the door. We have circled the ward twice since last August. We believe that we are the people who can negotiate the best deal for Rainham in the Town Hall. This Thursday, you can vote for the same or you can vote for change 🌹🌹🌹
Rainham, Eastbrook, Village and @AngelaRayner in 24 hours! Fantastic candidates, a fantastic CLP and fantastic female leadership in @Margaret4DR and Angela inspiring us Labour candidates to fight the good fight! #VoteLabour on May 7th 🌹
On Workers' Memorial Day, we remember all those who have lost their lives to work-related illness or injury. Key to keeping people safe at work is a strong, organised union in every workplace. Remember the dead, fight for the living! #IWMD26
Residents are repeatedly telling us that #Rainham and #Wennington is not being fought for at @LBofHavering town hall. The ward has had no #Labour representation in over 20 years. Vote change, vote to put Rainham & Wennington first on May 7th 🌹
ICYMI here’s my piece in @LabourHome_ about why I’m standing for Labour’s NEC.
🚨 I only need two more CLP nominations to get on the ballot. ‼️👀
Have a read and consider nominating or endorsing me. 🗳️👇
