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.

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.

    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder    
    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
