Eric Sheqi
Labour candidate for South Hornchurch
As a resident of south Havering, I don’t just live here, I’m invested in our future. My experience as a caseworker for our local MP has put me on the front lines, solving problems for residents one-on-one. This has given me the determination to ensure South Hornchurch is no longer overlooked. On May 7th, you have two votes. I and Karen Bernard are proud to stand as your Labour candidates to provide the dedicated leadership this community deserves. Our Promises to You: • CCTV to tackle crime and fly-tipping. • Resurface our roads and footpaths. • Hold housing providers to account. • Fight for more services in the ward. • Be a strong local voice for all residents. Community comes first. We will make sure South Hornchurch is NOT the forgotten part of Havering. 🗳️ Eric Sheqi ✔️ 🗳️ Karen Bernard ✔️
