When I met Kwasi on Thursday at the MapRA AGM I mentioned to him that I hadn’t seen any campaign materials from him over the last couple of weeks. Yesterday an Election Communiation from Brent East Conservatives was delivered by Royal Mail. His message: ‘The Conservatives are the alternative.

On the back of the Mapesbury Labour News distributed by Yasmin at the MapRA Annual General Meeting there is a list of ways to contact Yasmin: By phone: 020 8969 4550, By email: info@yasminqureshi.co.uk, By writting to: 102 Liddell Gardens, Kensal Rise, NW10 3QE.

I spoke to him yesterday and apparently there has been a problem with the delivery of the leaflets by Royal Mail....
Those active in local civil society and engaged in their neighbourhood were out at St. Gabriel’s Church on Walm Lane on Thursday night for the Mapesbury Residents Association Annual General Meeting.
