Upstairs, Downstairs

Last night was the turn of Tower Hamlets Lib Dems. A survey of three high-rise blocks in Bow followed by a campaign meeting for the upcoming elections.

I despair when I see the state of some of the council housing in the borough: blighted landscapes, dumped cars, lack of attention to the buildings. No wonder people were suspicious and only spoke to us through their doors.

Because we're choosing the PPC (Prospective Parliamentary Candidate) for Bethnal Green and Bow in two weeks' time, the survey drew all the candidates, giving us some much-needed extra pairs of hands. Quite an inspired decision, whoever came up with the idea.

I just hope we decide to advertise for the Poplar & Canning Town constituency before the next survey as well!
