| If you want to identify the chief culprit in all this, look no further than failed art teacher turned enviro-mentalist, the cabinet member for climate change. He has overseen the spending of a fortune on vanity projects like Lammas (note his claim of only one fifth of the money spent on that was from the council, that’s still almost £200,000). Other ridiculous ideas put into practice: Occupation Lane as some sort of play area for under fives. The only beneficiaries are the drug dealers from the local estate who now have an easier escape route from plod (when he can be bothered to turn up). £200,000 spent on unnecessary pavement widening at the E2 bus stop On Windjill Road. Only used by e-bike delivery muppets to swerve round any bus stopped there, endangering passengers alighting or boarding and any other pedestrian. School streets being implemented on roads that have no relationship with the schools they are meant to be protecting, and ignoring the wishes of the majority of residents in the areas affected. To sideline democracy further they introduced a borough wide traffic order that can see such streets introduced without consultation. The latest wheeze to allocate more kerb space to cycling infrastructure despite most residents of Ealing not owning a bike, let alone using one. This bunch of Labour grifters are entirely responsible for the degradation of the borough. They have had 16 years of effectively unopposed power, yet nothing is better for most people. Remember how they told us government cuts were the cause of services closing or being reduced? Yet there has been enough cash around to award themselves two huge allowance increases since 2022. And they say council tax needs to go up again to cover shortfalls. Presumably the shortfall required to pay Chief Executive Tony Clement £240,000 a year (plus pension and benefits). He doesn’t even turn up to chair council meetings for that money! Labour will be canvassing you for the next few months. Boasting about their track record yet strangely silent when pushed on things as there’s nothing to boast about. They have had their time. Vote wisely on May 7. |
