What a cheek!

Youths from St Pauls Church, Goodmayes.

This is the article sent to me by Bob Archer of leader of the Redbridge NUT:

"Redbridge residents took to the street again on Saturday 17 April to oppose plans to close the A&E department at King George hospital. About 200 marched from the green near the hospital through Seven Kings and into the centre of Ilford to hear local community and religious leaders condemn the plans. Organisers emphasised the need to maintain the campaign through the election period and keep ready for new challenges after May 6. Members of Redbridge NUT and of Unite the Union also joined the march with their banners and flags. A lively group of young churchgoers from St. Pauls Goodmayes brought their megaphone and for once the Chadwell Heath Greens had some competition to see who could chant slogans the loudest."

Wilson would like to express his abject opposition to these comments he believes unconditionally that his voice for local residents was the loudest (tongue in cheek). To tell you the truth it was just exciting to see so many young people involved. Wilson took out his daughter Hannah Chowdhry who enjoyed the event and also joined the chanting. Isla Martin and her children attended and we all had a very enjoyable day despite the negative reason for the event.

Wilson said:

"It is important we encourage young people to attend such events as it will create the awareness of local issues that will stimulate the next set of community leaders. Moreover, it is the next generation that will be affected by decisions made now"
