Yesterday I spoke to @BBCLondonNews about the ongoing budget pressures councils face. While the Spending Review brought some support, it falls short of what’s needed. I visited Oakfield Lodge to understand the pressure on the front line. Watch my conversation ⬇️

This afternoon I spoke to @BBCLondonNews about the Spending Review and what it means for Redbridge. Times are tight, but we're delivering more with less in the most challenging financial circumstances ever. We're working with gov't & fighting for a fair deal for our residents.

Really sad news coming out of Ahmedabad this morning. My thoughts are with all those affected and their loved ones 🙏🏾.
