Labour Selects Valentines By-election Candidate
The Labour Party has selected Surinder Pahl as its’ prospective candidate for the Valentines By-Election which will be held on Thursday 29th January 2009.
Surinder has lived in Ilford since 1966. As a local resident of Valentines Ward, he is only too aware of the current issues and problems we all face.

Surinder says:
“I am very concerned about the issues we face on a daily basis in Valentines Ward, such as community safety, late-night licensing, litter, fly-tipping, untidy front gardens and street cleansing. These seem to be ignored by the Tory administration in Redbridge who do not address these serious problems”
Cllr Linda Eyre, who is also a resident of Valentines Ward, states,
“I am delighted that Surinder Pahl has been selected as our local candidate. He fully understands the many problems we currently face, such as the lack of school places, lack of waste bins and indiscriminate parking on single yellow lines on Sundays, when the paid parking spaces are still chargeable.”
