Cllrs Rob, Ren, Joe, and Kelly had members questions for the mayor and cabinet – asking for updates on Silvertown dust, Bow Road, Lime Bike clutter, and the Chandos Playground.
Members Question

Silvertown Dust

Given the severity of the dust problem – can extra resources be provided to enable an increase in the frequency of pavement and cycleway machine cleaning, along with more regular cleaning around the traffic islands?

Cllr Rob Callender
Royal VictoriaMembers Question

Bow Rd. Refurbishment

What plans exist for this building, and will the executive commit to working with local teams to see the building bought back into use as speedily as possible?

Cllr Ren Tilbury
Maryland
Co-Business ManagerMembers Question

Lime Bike Clutter

What progress has the administration made on formalising the borough’s relationship with Uber’s Lime Bikes (or other private schemes) – including any planned provision for bay parking on council streets and on other private land?

Cllr Joe Hudson-Small
Stratford Olympic Park
Co-Deputy LeaderMembers Question

Chandos Playground

Can the cabinet member reassure us all that the council does indeed care about children’s play and recreation, and give residents a firm date for when the play park will reopen to the public, after so 
many delays?

Co-Business Manager

Joe Hudson-Small and Ren Tilbury each formally presented petitions from local residents – one asking for the council's support establishing a new mosque, and another urging the council to renovate the derelict council-owned Bow Road site.
Petition Hand-in

We all know that mosques and other religious spaces are important hubs for education, community, and charity.

700 residents in and around the Olympic Park area are asking for the council’s help working with local landowners to facilitate construction of a new mosque as they have none within walking distance.

Cllr Joe Hudson-Small
Stratford Olympic Park
Co-Deputy LeaderPetition Hand-in

Residents  deseve safe and well-maintained council housing 
in their ward – not neglected, derelict sites where anti-social behaviour has gone on unchecked.

Residents are calling on the council to begin the renovation work on the Bow Road site now.

Long weekend nearing an end. Beyond proud that we have ended our opposition to new nuclear power, which I first helped pass at Young Greens convention. Disappointed we just barely didn’t get to D04 – my and Lucy’s motion to declare we are a democratic, eco-socialist party. Maybe next time!

To Jewish members of the Green Party: Assurances, from the motion proposers, that they had no intention for Jewish members to feel targeted for their beliefs or associations have been clear. And if anyone else does try to use it in this way, I will be there for you with my solidarity and support.
Statement reads: As Greens, we will always uphold universal human rights.

We will never tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment.

We will continue to stand in opposition to genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and the illegal occupation.

We will continue to call out the heinous crimes of the Netanyahu government.

And we will continue to work to ensure that the Green Party is an anti-racist party in every way. 

We know there is no conflict between supporting the rights of Palestinians and the rights of Jewish people.
