Labour candidates take to the water and speak up for local people and local jobs.
I was delighted as Labour's parliamentary candidate for South Basildon and East Thurrock to take a trip on the Thames with the Port of London Authority on Monday.
I was accompanied by Thurrock parliamentary candidate Polly Billington and Mike Jones of Your Thurrock who filmed the journey and interviewed us on board the Port of London boat. (Video link at bottom of page) It was great to have an opportunity to view the constituency from the river and discuss issues affecting the lives of local residents living close to London Gateway.
The Thames is a working river and it must work for local residents. It offers many employment opportunities and I am keen to make sure that residents of South Basildon & East Thurrock are real beneficiaries. I support the recognition of Unite the Union at DP World as massive investment must bring increased employment, improved working conditions and new transport infrastructure to the area.
