Thank You from our MP

Following the recent AGM, Sarah Sackman MP, wrote:

Thank you for having me at your meeting.

It was brilliant to meet and have the chance to speak to so many residents. What a show of community engagement, leadership and creativity.

Thank you very much for the book, for the fantastic wrapping paper, for the salsa lesson and above all all the work that you do year round to strengthen our community and support (and sometimes, rightly, challenge) the work of public bodies which serve our area. 

GGERA is the epitome of the word community, where people of all ages and backgrounds come together to discuss the issues facing a neighbourhood. These serious discussion points are then woven in with joyful activities (including the brilliant salsa lessons) to make for an incredibly engaging event.

I am so proud to be your MP and look forward to working alongside the GGERA throughout my time in office.

Palace of Westminster Visit

We are grateful to our local MP, Mike Freer for organising the tour of the Palace of Westminster in February.

About 30 of us were able to attend. We were entertained by an impromptu speech from the Speaker, John Bercow, after which Mr Freer led us on an informative tour of Westminster Hall, with its magnificent hammer-beam roof, and the House of Commons.
