Mike Gapes MP Wes Streeting MP Cllr Jas Athwal Mike Gapes MP Wes Streeting MP Cllr Jas Athwal 19th June 2017 The Rt. Hon Jeremy Hunt MP Secretary State for Health Department of Health Richmond House 79 Whitehall LONDON SW1A 2NS Dear Secretary of State OPEN LETTER RE: REVERSE DECISION TO CLOSE KGH A&E We are writing to request that you reverse the decision to close the A&E at King George’s Hospital (part of the Barking, Havering & Redbridge Hospitals Trust). During the General Election campaign, you visited our Borough and you stated that A&E would not close for the ‘foreseeable future’. The phrase ‘foreseeable future’ has left ambiguity and uncertainty over our already challenged health economy. Our STP has a Board dedicated to oversee the closure, management consultants have been appointed for the process and our Health Scrutiny Committee has a special panel looking at the issue. Precious resources, in terms of money and management capacity, are being expended on an issue which it would appear you have already made a decision. Further the uncertainty makes planning for the future of health services much more difficult. It also makes recruitment at BHRUT more challenging (already an issue for outer London areas) placing patient care at risk. We therefore ask you to finally settle this matter and formally state that the decision to close King George Hospital A&E has been reversed. We look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely Mike Gapes MP Wes Streeting MP Cllr Jas Athwal Member for Ilford South Member for Ilford North Leader of the Council Redbridge Labour Party 6 Mildmay Road, IG1 IDT .

    Sikh Federation (UK) Never flinch from performing righteous deeds ANNUAL REPORT 2020 WORKING FOR TRUTH, JUSTICE & FREEDOM OVERVIEW A message from the Chairman In the last 6 months major restric�ons have been imposed on our daily lives by the COVID-19 pandemic. The extraordinary response to the unprecedented public health crisis has changed the way we interact with each other whether that be in families, at work and as a community. For Sikhs the concept of Sangat, as opposed to isolated religious prac�ce, is essen�al for our spiritual and moral well-being. For many Sikhs it is only when we are part of the Sangat that we are able to carry out much of our seva. Global poli�cs are now dominated by the pandemic, which has resulted in unparalleled expansion of government power. Restric�ons and the public health crisis will remain un�l an effec�ve vaccine is available. Most commentators predict we are anything from 6-12 months away from a safe and effec�ve vaccine. The full economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are s�ll unfolding but all governments are expected to struggle for many years with some struggling more than others. The Brexit referendum in 2016 triggered a process of polarisa�on in society that cut across the tradi�onal Bri�sh poli�cal party landscape. Brexit for many years, dominated UK na�onal poli�cs and was the major issue during the December 2019 General Elec�on that returned a Conserva�ve government with a large majority. The Covid-19 pandemic and its a�ermath however has the poten�al to be a poli�cal game-changer in the UK that could completely reshape the Bri�sh poli�cal landscape.

    UJS Conference 2019 Motions Community Motion Title: CO1 It’s Time for Urgency, There’s a Climate Emergency! Proposer’s name: Nathan Boroda Proposer’s J-Soc: Warwick Seconder’s name: Sally Patterson Seconder’s J-Soc: Cambridge What’s the idea? 1. The world is facing a climate and ecological crisis. 2. The leading scientific community at the UN has warned in the IPCC Special Report - Global Warming of 1.5°C the existential threat to human life and stable modern civilisation posed by exceeding 1.5°C of global temperature increase to 2°C. 3 . We have 11 years left to make the changes necessary to prevent the catastrophic effects of at least a 2°C rise from becoming an inevitable and irreversible reality 4. Rapid and decisive action is needed in all areas of society to meet these targets. 5. The impacts of climate change will hit the underprivileged the hardest. 6. Several universities (usually beginning with the SU), over 40 local councils and UK Parliament have already declared a climate emergency. 6. UJS has an important role in enabling Jewish students to take action to protect their future. How do you want it to happen? 1. For UJS to publicly declare a climate emergency 2. For UJS to raise awareness of the emergency and create a point for discussion and act as a body of support of this global issue Motion Title: CO2 Antisemitism Motion Proposer’s name: Etan Feingold Proposer’s J-Soc: Nottingham Seconder’s name: Jacob Jackson Seconder’s J-Soc: Nottingham Trent What’s the idea?

    UJS Conference 2020 Motions Campus Motion Title: CA3 Fighting Antisemitism with the Jewish Labour Movement Proposer’s name: Jack Lubner Proposer’s J-Soc: Cambridge Seconder’s name: Toby Kunin Seconder’s J-Soc: Warwick What’s the idea? 1. The issue of antisemitism in the Labour Party has been incredibly difficult for the Jewish community and for Jewish students in particular, who have faced antisemitism on campus. 2. The Labour Party’s new leadership have made promising steps in dealing with the problem of antisemitism in Labour but there is still a long way to go. 3. The Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) played a key role in the fight against antisemitism, having referred the Labour Party to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) – which found it guilty of committing three unlawful acts. 4. UJS has worked with JLM in the past to provide antisemitism awareness training on campus. How do you want it to happen? 1. UJS should continue to work alongside the Jewish Labour Movement in co-hosting events to share the experiences of Jewish students. 2. If antisemitism awareness training in University Labour Clubs resumes, UJS should facilitate training with JLM. UJS should be in regular contact with JLM to coordinate efforts to fight antisemitism on campus when it arises in Labour Party spaces. Motion Title: CA6 Committing to Fight All Forms of Antisemitism Proposer’s name: Millie Walker Proposer’s J-Soc: Leeds Seconder’s name: Tamar Klajman Seconder’s J-Soc: UCL What’s the idea? 1. Antisemitism is rising at an alarming rate at universities across the world.

  • London Borough of Redbridge: 12 Ward Selective Licensing Application
    Cllr Farah Hussain Cabinet Member for Housing Town Hall,128-142 High Rd, Ilford IG1 1DD Please ask for: Cllr Farah Hussain Direct line: 020 8708 2040 Heather Wheeler MP [email protected] Parliamentary Under Secretary of State Date: 22 May 2018 (Minister for Housing and Homelessness) Fry Building, 2 Marsham Street Westminster London SW1P 4DF Dear Mrs Wheeler Re: LONDON BOROUGH OF REDBRIDGE: 12 WARD SELECTIVE LICENSING APPLICATION We the undersigned are writing in support of the recent application from the London Borough of Redbridge to extend the selective licensing scheme to include a further twelve wards across the Borough. Redbridge is experiencing significant and persistent levels of crime, housing deprivation, poor housing conditions and anti-social behaviour directly linked to the private rented sector. Expansion of the selective licensing scheme in other parts of the Borough will give the Council much more control through licensing conditions. The reduction in crime, poor housing and antisocial behaviour will improve the health and quality of life not only for the tenants affected but for all Redbridge residents. Ultimately approval of this proposal will allow the Council to identify who is responsible for a property and deal proactively with poor standards of accommodation in wards where it is likely to have the greatest impact. Redbridge is surrounded by other London Boroughs such a Newham, Barking & Dagenham, Waltham Forest who have all implemented selective licensing. Approval of the scheme is the only option to deter rogue landlords and criminals displaced by other boroughs from thinking that it is ok to flout the law in Redbridge.

Many facets influence the capital’s property market, from socio-economics to viewing corridors, and from public transport connectivity to local context and politics. The layers of London planning, with devolved city-wide governance through the Greater London Authority combined with the unique character and ambitions of each London borough, means that accessing and understanding key data is vital. But there’s a lot of data, which is why we produced the A-Z of London Planning – so that development professionals can access high level ‘need to know’ information at-a-glance.
