Many residents of Chadwell will be aware that Wilson Chowdhry was the first person in the Borough to question the profligacy of our Conservative Cabinet - displayed in particular by the purchase of two new jaguars worth in excess of £140,000 and the their ludicrous scheme to introduce a 50m Swimming Pool. Wilson has never opposed having a swimming pool but highlighted the need for a descaling of the size of the proposed centre to reduce costs to a rational level - especially as their was to be no Olympic funding towards the scheme and the Olympic Committee had expressed to our council that nay 50m Pool would not be used for training by foreign or home athletes in the build up to the Olympics! A more parsimonious spend on a 25m pool would save costs and the surplus could be utilised to invest in parks to on Tennis and Cricket nets and other play areas so that we could encourage the development of a wider amount of Olympic and high profile world sports. Wilson appeared on a lunchtime BBC news story about this issue in December 2007- why not view it by following this link?

Our liberal Councillors wrote a story about the £1.3m consultancy bid for a project that does not seem able to proceed and the lost PFI opportunity in their recent . I wrote a similar article back in December 2007? Perhaps now the Chadwell community can recognise the need for change?
