***Our plan for Elm Park*** [1] Tackle fly-tipping & protect our environment We will push for tougher enforcement, more clear-ups, and more bins for cleaner streets and parks. [2] Crack down on crime, shop theft & anti-social behaviour We will work with the police to make our streets safer, with more patrols, improved street lighting, and CCTV. [3] Stand up for commuters We will protect the Freedom Pass and affordable Tube travel by opposing Reform’s plans to leave London, while pushing for more frequent bus services. [4] Fair deal for drivers We will review parking charges, including the 50% PCN discount, and continue investing over £1 million extra in fixing potholes made possible by Havering being in London. [5] Invest in our green spaces We will improve Harrow Lodge Park, Bretons Outdoor Recreation Centre and Hornchurch Country Park, making them cleaner, safer and more accessible. [6] Demand value for money We will scrutinise council spending, root out waste, and increase efficiency, for example by renewing the roll-out of cost efficient LED street lighting and upgrading our libraries.
