LCC Need a Campaign Organiser from Newham

Happy New Year all.

I have been contacted by Lu at LCC regarding the Campaign Organisers for the 2014 election build up.  They do not yet have any volunteers from Newham and are specifically hoping to recruit a few women (apparently we are in short supply).

If you haven’t already seen the info, please take a look at the details here:

There’s also an article on why one lady is volunteering:

There is a training session for volunteers on the 18th January, so if you are interested, please get in touch with LCC before then.

Proposed Traffic orders for Sandringham and Cramner Rds

  • I have received notice from the Council of some new proposed traffic orders.  They y would introduce one way traffic to Sandringham Road and Cramner Rd in Forest Gate.  This appears to be linked to control of the school run becase it is accompanied by additional parking restrictions. I would be happy to forward the details to anyone interested. A response must be submitted by 14 January.   I suggest that, in principle, further one way streets should not be encouraged in residential areas and is also  inconsistent with the aim of permeability in such areas of urban Newham. If there must be one way streets then we should advocate cycle contraflows.   Let me know what you think.Arnold
