Dear
Residents
Residents’ Public Meeting 8pm Monday 10th
July 2023 8pm Methodist Church Hall, Percy Road IG3 8UA
Minutes from last meeting and
agenda will be put up on the above site before the meeting.
I regret to report that this
question tabled by me for a council meeting on the 22 June was blocked.
“Will the
leader agree, especially in light of BHRUT having some of the worst type 1
A&E 4 hour performance statistics in England, to speak at a cross party
meeting at this Town Hall on the 17th July at 8pm or send a message of support
if he cannot make it?”
The reason
given for blocking the question, that the Leader would not be at the meeting,
does not stand scrutiny. The deputy Leader could have taken the question and
the subsequent supplementary question.
There will
be a photo shoot before the new wing for King George Meeting on the 17th
July at 7:15pm outside the site of the proposed Bodgers 42 storey tower,
opposite Ilford Railway station to call for safer dual staircases, rather than
the single staircase planned.
The
new high rise towers planned will mean a substantial increase in the East
London population. It must be right to build additional capacity at the King
George Hospital site to cope with the increased population.

News on a step forward for the
campaign to stop the High Rise slums is over the page
Application for 236 High Rise slums
on Seven Kings Car Park withdrawn
The Council withdrew this application on
the 30th June 2023. The location is toxic blighted by traffic and noise
pollution. This withdrawal is a small step forward for the plan to stop the new
slum housing in Redbridge being built. Thank you to Paul Scott for noticing this.

Crime Stats are a model for Council
Governance
Our Council is taking various welcome initiatives to reduce crime. However, publication of crime stats each month at Redbridge Cabinet needs to happen to improve crime reduction. The stats need to be within a written report accompanied by an oral report with public questions taken. Similar reports need to be produced for housing, health and all services that the Council provide or scrutinise. The Council have declared a climate emergency, so it is particularly puzzling that monthly reports on what is being done about the climate emergency are not being produced. Stats and reports are key in the private sector and the NHS. It must be right that Council introduce monthly reporting too.
What you can do:
1) Write to Sam Tarry MP at sam.tarry.mp@parliament.uk at to see if he will meet our campaign team
2) It would be great if you could attend council
meetings to either ask a question or support Paul Scott or I who regularly
attend meetings. Future meetings at Redbridge Town Hall are:
Overview Committee on 13th
July at 7:15pm
Planning Committee on 18th
July at 7:15pm
Cabinet on 20th July at 20th
July at 7:17pm
Next Residents meeting at 8pm 10th
