Looking Ahead

Gerry Ryan steps down from Shadow Cabinet to fight for Parliament

Councillor Gerry Ryan has stepped down from his position as the deputy leader of the Labour Group of Croydon Councillors. This is so he can focus all his energies on the campaign to win the Croydon Central Parliamentary election.

Gerry said:

“It is now clear Croydon Tories are split from top to bottom with half of their members backing the existing MP Andrew Pelling and the others backing Councillor Barwell who wants to replace him. We are now in a close three horse race, a race I am committed to win for Labour, by continuing to oppose the extra Tory charges and their savage cuts to Council services, many of which have been directly overseen by Councillor Barwell. An example is the recent hike in charges for community groups that depend on local schools to host their activities."
