I believe the council therefore can control whether the development goes ahead and hope the ward councillors can persuade the administration to cancel the sale.

In my letter, I've asked them to exert pressure on the Conservative leadership of the council to ask that the land sale is cancelled. The development can only take place if the council concludes the sale of its land to the developer.

I know residents in Barnehurst are concerned about the planning appeal from the developer wishing to build on the former tennis courts in Old Manor Way. I’ve therefore written to the councillors for Barnehurst ward.

A busy day ahead at Labour Party Conference but also a double anniversary for me. 32 years today since I joined the party. 26 years since I was elected as a councillor in a by election which took a lot of work to win, given national events in the preceding weeks. 🌹

See my statement on the fall of Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, often referred to as the Assisted Dying Bill today in Parliament. I hope all Parliamentarians will now work together to invest in palliative care in this country.

I intervened in the debate to highlight my ongoing concerns that this legislation in its current form remained unsafe for people with Learning Disabilities. In the final vote, the majority of my Parliamentary colleagues shared my concerns about the safety of this Bill.

A huge sigh of relief as Harry Kane saved the day shoring up a 2-1 win against the Democratic Republic of Congo, which was closer than many of us imagined. Now it’s all eyes on Mexico. Keep the faith and let's bring it home. Come on England! 🦁🦁🦁
