Cities of London and Westminster Labour Party

We would like to thank all who voted for the Labour Candidates or simply listened to their arguments during the recent Common Council elections. We were pleased to poll 23% of vote and gratified that, though we weren’t elected, the Labour Party campaigning points set the tone for the election.

The issues of Governance, the Decent Homes Policy and the London Living Wage were well received on the doorstep and provoked defensive reactions from the current sitting Common Councilors, most of whom offered no other policies than ‘business as usual’.

Our canvassing revealed that far from the paragon of efficient government the City Of London is falling down in a number of areas and we will continue to campaign for a swifter resolution to urgent housing repairs on the Golden Lane Estate and a greater accountability in the Corporation’s governance. We will continue to monitor the performance of the council and the sitting Common Councilors and will be ready to fight another election.
