Focus E15 launch The Newham Nag

Stratford London. Sat 20 May 2017



 Newham Council tell Focus E15 they can't hold their protest here - the land is owned by the council

 which thy claim means it isn't council land

 So who owns the council? Surely the people own the council, and certainly the public have unfettered access to the area

 where there is plenty of room for protests like this. But RObin Wales - who took a 4% pay rise despite a public sector pay freeze

 can't take people protesting against his policies - and the protesters are issued with a £100 fixed penalty notice

 

 

 

 

 

 'Over 400 empty homes on the Carpenters Estate'', homes in good condition that famiies were moved out from over 10 years ago

 despite a huge waiting list for homes - and Newham housing people in cockroach-infested properties - temporary but sometiems for years

 

 

 'More people are registered HOMELESS in Newham than anywhere else in the country' while

  huge numbers of luxury flats are built for foreign investors.

 

 

Focus E15 continue to throw a spotlight on the activities of Newham COuncil and Mayor Robin Wales, both a disgrace to the Labour movement
