Many people are facing difficulties in the current financial climate.

While we face these pressures the energy companies, are making a fortune. A lot of people stay with the same energy company as they don’t know how to go about switching.

I want to encourage people to use their consumer power, and hopefully this will get all of us a better deal.

If you want advice on how to switch please download the attached leaflet, produced by Consumer Focus and find out how to switch:

One of the first things the Government did when coming to power was scrapping the school building programme, called ‘Building Schools for the Future'.

The Government did not take into account, that many of these schools are in total disrepair. Children and staff are working in dilapidated, leaky and dirty buildings totally not fit for purpose. Many schools and Local Education Authorities were already in line waiting for money to start projects.

So whats been happening?

King George hospital faces the possibility of its Accident and Emergency Department and its maternity services closing.

This could lead to an increase in strain on the services of other local hospitals.

John Cryer has been working with fellow local MPs, Councilors and local residents on this issue.

The Campaign group Save King George Hospital, has been doing some great work in getting the issue known, and getting as many people and groups locally as possible involved.

John Cryer, along with a number of local MPs and activists, handed in a petition to Downing Street against plans to close these services. They have also met with the NHS locally about the proposals.

On 15th June we held a very well attended public meeting in Leytonstone Library on the issues around King George Hospital and the Health and Social Care.
