Councillor Staight and Councillor Maravalla endorse BNP Vice Chiarman!

This mans choice of Vice Chairman is a BNP Councillor!

I have been working hard promoting community cohesion using both Redbridge Carnival and working with the "Hope Not Hate" campaigners. All this work is to be rendered futile when men in senior leadership like Cllr Staight and Cllr Maravalla ,throw this all back in our faces and endorse a vice-chairman for a Council Cycling liaison group (reported in Ilford Recorder). This whole debacle has embarrassed the Council no end is the product of misguided politics. Candidates were available but no-one selected Cllr Maravalla or Cllr Ronald Bardon due to their political allegiances. What was the Chairman Cllr Staight thinking of? Why was this allowed to happen in the same borough in which we learn that Redbridge Council has been using derogatory words for members of the Pakistani Community?


This is the latest in a long list of council blunders and I believe we need some wholesale changes to the existing leadership, if we are to see any real improvement in our borough. Leaders that are in tune with the cultural diversity and the community needs that are so easily traced, but oh so often ignored...!
