  • Apply for a Postal Vote

    Apply for a Postal Vote

    Labour volunteer teams have been out across the ward extensively over the last few week listening to residents. A number of residents have asked about applying for postal votes for the elections in May.

    Voting by post is the safest and easiest way to make sure your vote counts. The quickest and easiest way setup postal voting is by applying online via the Government’s website here.

    You can also download, print out and fill in a paper postal vote application form. This should then be sent to your local Electoral Registration Office.

    Your Labour Community Team can help with lots of things, but unfortunately we can’t help you complete or return these forms. Do ask a friend or neighbour if you need help.

  • Campaign for GP Surgery in Barking Riverside

    GPs in Barking already look after 20% more patients than the national average – Barking is being underserved by our NHS.

    In Barking Riverside, thousands of new homes are being built with no new health services locally, causing pressure on the rest of the borough.

    Residents were promised a primary care facility as part of the Barking Riverside development, but these plans have stalled.

    You can join local Labour MP Nesil Caliskan’s campaign to tell the developers and the NHS that Barking deserves better – Barking Riverside needs a new GP surgery to end the postcode lottery for healthcare.

    You can support the campaign here.
