Reports of Further Delay in Third Runway Decision
It was widely expected that the Government was to announce its decision on a third runway at Heathrow this week. There are newspaper reports that after protests from Labour MPs the Prime Minister may delay any announcement once again. These are unconfirmed reports and so may be only speculation. As soon as I know anything for certain I will be convening meetings across the area to let local people know and for us to plan our response as a community.

Brookside Community Centre Wins Grant for Youngsters’ Talent Competition
I went along to present a grant to Charlie Farmer from the Brookside Community Centre today (Monday 5th January). The grant was provided by Barclay’s Bank to support local groups in their community activities. Charlie Farmer is a local hero, who has worked on behalf of our community for decades. I first met Charlie when he was setting up the Charville Community Centre back in the 1980s. At that time I was the Chair of the GLC’s Finance Committee and I awarded Charlie a grant to help open the new centre.

The Attack on Gaza
I have been extremely concerned at the loss of life and suffering caused by the Israeli bombing and now invasion of Gaza. Parliament does not come back from the Christmas recess until next week. This means that there has been no opportunity for MPs to discuss the issue and to determine what role the UK government should play. I believe that the UK government could assist in mobilising an international to bring about a ceasefire by putting diplomatic and economic pressure on Israel. I have called for the recall of Parliament to enable Ministers to report on their activities and for MPs to discuss this serious international situation.
