Jon Cruddas MP's press statement regarding the Rainham polyclinic.

Jon writes in the Barking and Dagenham Post:

 

"I am worried about local people’s boilers breaking down; vulnerable people with no heating or hot water . The repair work is carried out by Enterprise - the company we pay for and employ to take care of our council properties.

Now you might have noticed that David Cameron and Ed Miliband have been talking all last week  about ‘crony capitalism’. Its all a bit vague so lets use a local example.

Dover's Corner development

In the last few days I have had numerous letters, emails and phone calls concerning the Dover’s Corner development. As many of you will be aware there was a large local support against the planned development on Dover’s Corner and this forced the council to abandon their previous support for the proposals. However the Secretary of State reversed this decision and granted planning permission for the site.

Ken Livingstone visited the Dagenham and Rainham constituency on Monday 16th January and took the chance to catch up with local residents and public figures. His aim was to discuss the ways in which he can help tackle the issues facing the area should he be elected as Mayor in May 2012. The visit was a great opportunity for Jon Cruddas, the leader of the council Liam Smith and local residents to discuss the challenges the borough is currently experiencing.
