Election 2015 Hustings meeting at the Albrighton Community Centre on Monday April 13th!


Recommended Posts

Hustings Monday at the Albrighton Community Centre - April 13th from 7:15pm. Not many hustings meetings yet (Herne Hill's comes later in the week) but here's one which will be intimate and well-represented. Organised by the Ivanhoe Residents Association with the Albrighton Centre and East Dulwich Estate. Candidates or their agents will chiefly represent Camberwell and Peckham but there will be a candidate for Dulwich and West Norwood. So East Dulwich residents and those of you from other surrounding areas are also enthusiastically invited to attend!


We've waited this long to announce because we've just had word on Friday that all parties invited have accepted and have named their representatives for this Hustings meeting - with the exception of the Lib Dems (someone is expected but this remains a TBA). On the table there will be:


All People's Party - Stephen Govier

Conservative Party - Naomi Newstead

Green Party - Rashid Nix

Labour Party - Harriet Harman

Left Unity & TUSC - Nick Wrack

Liberal Democrat Party - TBA

National Health Action - Rebecca Fox

UKIP - David Kurten


Topics will range from Electoral Reform, the NHS and housing to the 20MPH zone, schools, Green Spaces and Dulwich Hamlet FC for more hyper-local discussion. We hope to take questions and complete within 90-120 minutes


Smaller party candidates have an earlier candidates meeting at Southwark Town Hall on Monday, so one or two may join in progress.


The Albrighton Community Centre is located at 37 Albrighton Road SE22 8AH - on the east side of Dog Kennel Hill, almost opposite Sainsburys, within the East Dulwich Estate.

@IvanhoeResAssoc (not necessarily in that order.


We're all hoping to learn more about how the political system can better work for all of us in the community ... hope you can make it, even at this short notice.

UPDATE Rashid Nix, who is standing in West Norwood & Dulwich for the Green Party, will represent Amelia Womack, who is the Green candidate in Camberwell & Peckham as she is currently campaigning in the West Country for Young Greens. Stephen Govier will represent Prem Goyal who is the C&P candidate for the All People's Party. We're told by C&P Lib Dems Chair Jonathan Hunt that there will be a rep for C&P candidate Yahaya Kiyingi, who is committed elsewhere
LATE BREAKING UPDATE: Word from C&P Lib Dems HQ is that their candidate Yahaya Kiingi will be attending the Albrighton Community Centre Hustings Meeting set for 7:15pm tonight April 13th.

    • I'm glad that Barry's have posted.  Their mention of the merger soon led me to (a) bushy-tailed  PR guff about the new member joining the inpost 'family' and promising a bright happy world of lockers etc ahead. and (b) clear signs that the same problems related here seem to have been current and widespread even three months ago.  That's just from looking at one thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinted/comments/1nlv3u2/yodelinpost_merger_issues/  
    • @first mate not aware of any either. Found this relating to 23-24..  https://services.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-creates/funding/cultural-celebrations-fund?chapter=4 
    • Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2
    • @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.
