Ilford South Labour Party

On Thursday 1 May 2008, residents in Redbridge and Havering will get their chance to elect their Mayor and Greater London Assembly (GLA) members.

“I am delighted that the Labour Party have selected me for the Redbridge and Havering GLA seat“ says Redbridge Cllr Balvinder Saund. “If elected, I will work with the Mayor of London to ensure that we get our fair share of affordable housing (50%), a good transport infrastructure in readiness for the 2012 Olympics and that our youth are given opportunities to participate in the Olympics and the arts. This is because sports and arts are a sure way of bringing communities together and giving our youth opportunities to build their self-confidence.”

If elected, Balvinder will work tirelessly and help implement the exciting plans and targets set down for London by the Mayor in his London Plan. She feels the Olympics is the greatest opportunity to bring the melting-pot of world diverse communities together through sport and arts. She wants to be part of the success story of London.

Barbara White, Chair of Redbridge Labour Party Local Government Committee says, “I am delighted that Balvinder Saund has been selected as our candidate in the forthcoming GLA elections. She’s a hard-working Councillor who always has the residents’ interests at heart, and I know she will make an outstanding representative for the people of Havering and Redbridge”
