Local newspaper the Ham & High have judged Labour candidate Glenda Jackson as the clear winner in an important hustings meeting last week.

Underneath a headline which reads “Labour MP triumphs at Ham & High’s hustings”, the report says that the consensus was that Glenda was the best candidate at the meeting.

The paper added that Glenda brought “more than a touch of class” to proceedings on the night.

About 200 people turned up to see the representatives of five parties scrutinised at Rosslyn Hill Chapel, Hampstead Town on 25 March.

Local Labour campaigners are keeping a careful eye on the future of Kilburn Citizen’s Advice Bureau (CAB), following cuts by the Lib Dems to advice services across the borough.

Labour MP Glenda Jackson uses the CAB on the High Road for her regular advice surgery in Kilburn (11am on the 3^rd Saturday every month – no appointment needed).

Labour campaigner Maryam Eslamdoust, whose job involves giving legal advice to charities, said: “The Kilburn CAB is really important to the local community – especially in the midst of a recession, when people need support and to know their rights more than ever.

“There have been cuts to advice services across Camden. We want to make sure that services at the Kilburn CAB don’t suffer as a consequence.

“It’s important to defend local services like this. Labour will fight any cuts to council support for the CAB.”
