London Lib Dem Conference
2 members of the Executive of Chingford & Woodfoord Green Liberal Democrats travelled up to London yesterday for the party's London Spring Conference. They were President Maureen Hoskins (formerly a councillor in Church End ward, Redbridge) and Chairman Cllr. John Beanse (Hale End & Highams Park ward, Waltham Forest).
There were speeches from London Mayoral candidate Brian Paddick and party leader Nick Clegg MP.
In the ensuing debates on London issues, Maurreen Hoskins spoke of the positive impact of Safer Neighbourhood Teams and urged that they should be strengthened.
John Beanse spoke of inadequate rail and bus services locally and described this constituency as a "forgotten corner of London" as far as public transport improvements are concerned.
