‘A Big Man For a Big Job’ – I’m standing up for Hayes
When talking to people on Hayes doorsteps this weekend, I had the good fortune to come across a great lady who had lived in Hayes for more years than she cared to remember! I listened to her worries about the area she had lived in all her life and what I heard was something everyone here was saying: We need more police in an area that is being ravaged by drugs and street crime.
While money is being pumped into other parts of the Borough, including a £16,000 PAY RISE into the pockets of Tory Cabinet members on the council, Hayes loses out. Spending time in these Avenues, Lanes, Roads, Greens, Crescents and Walks has made it clear to me that someone needs to stand up for this part of Hayes. We need drugs off these streets and money spent on them, which neither the Tories or lacklustre Labour are delivering. That’s why I’m standing as a candidate in the upcoming Townfield by-election: to get things done.
When I thanked the lady for her time she turned to me and said, “You’re a big guy. We need a big man for this job”. I’m sure she meant it in a good way! I know, though, that that is exactly what Townfield needs, which is why I will fight for the people who live here as much as I physically can.
