Croydon

I was the guest speaker at a lunch in Croydon for the local Conservative Association. Andrew Pelling MP was there with his family and he spoke very well and knowledgeably about the local issues, he is held in high regard by his electorate.

Their new candidate for the GLA is Steve O’Connell who is currently deputy Leader on the Council and very active in tackling local crime issues. I think he will be excellent on the GLA as he will stand no nonsense, and knows what it is like in the Boroughs.

Crime, transport and "over development" are the issues here, just like they are in so many parts of London.

Poured with rain again on the way home – what will our basement at home be like this time? Did I clear out the drains sufficiently?
