A packed hall at Club KTM saw the formal launch of Harrow Labour Party’s manifesto for the Council Elections by Stephen Pound MP. The launch was also attended by Labour Party members - candidates, community representatives, Gareth Thomas MP, Cllr Sachin Shah – Leader of Labour Group, Cllr Muhammed Butt Leader of Brent Labour Group and Navin Shah London Assembly Member.
Stephen Pound MP commended Harrow Labour’s manifesto ‘Building a Better Harrow for the Many and not a Few’ and highlighted its key pledges of building homes in Harrow for Harrow’s residents; keeping Harrow clean; revitalising Harrow’s economy and protecting vital public services from Tory cuts.
Cllr Sachin Shah, Leader of Harrow Labour Group said, “On the 3rd of May you have a chance to vote for a party that puts public service first, or Conservative Party that inflicts savage cuts and doesn’t believe in delivering services that people need and deserve.
The Harrow Labour party has put at the centre of its manifesto delivery of public services, such as schools and the NHS that we deserve. In spite of savage Tory cuts in police service of £1 billion in London our priority is to safeguard our people from crime and keep them safe.
The Indian community has always believed in good schools, effective health services and more police. It is only the Labour party that is campaigning for more money for these areas.
The Harrow Labour party is going to take tough action on those that make Harrow dirty. We have already issued over 8000 fines and if re-elected we will get even tougher.
Housing is a problem that affects everyone in Harrow. The Harrow Labour party will make sure that Harrow residents get priority to buy new homes, making it easier for family to stay together in the borough.
The Labour party has been on the side of all our diverse communities, including our large Indian community in Harrow, right from the very start. We will NOT indulge in sectarian and divisive actions or appear on platforms with extremists. A true friend to Harrow’s diverse communities is the one that keeps it united no matter what. That is what the Labour party stands for and that’s way you should vote for your three Labour candidates on 3rd May.”
