Kreative Culture Klub does Leyton ward Proud!

I watched today’s Daily Politics Show (on BBC 2) earlier and am feeling really, really emotional.

Back in March, the producers contacted me to talk about a feature they were looking to do on anti-social behaviour.

To cut a long story short, I told them that we had this fantastic youth club being run in Leyton ward, with no premises and little funding, and that I thought it would be good for the Daily Politics to do a piece on them, to show some of the positive work the group is doing.

Fast forward a couple of months and we get today’s truly excellent show featuring Leyton ward’s Kreative Culture Klub (KCK)!

The group was the star of today’s programme and I am so so proud of them all!

I really hope that, as a result of seeing KCK’s superb apperance today, someone will now help the group secure the LONG TERM funding it desperately needs.

Well done again all!!!

You did Leyton ward proud today and I feel so proud to be your local councillor!! 🙂

To contact KCK, email Yvonne Bailey on: kck_enq@hotmail.com

‘Any Questions?’ comes to Leyton!!!!

O-Regen Chief Exec Julian Martin and I with Leyton AQ Panel

I am really, really chuffed that BBC Radio 4’s ‘Any Questions?‘ programme was broadcast live from Leyton ward on Friday night.

Regular visitors to this site will recall that back in January, I invited Jonathan Dimbleby, and the Any Questions team, to broadcast the show from the gorgeous Score Building in my ward, as part of my continuing bid for Leyton’s world domination!!! 🙂

Political legend Tony Benn (pictured above far right); the Daily Mail’s chief sketch writer Quentin Letts (pictured partially behind Liz Forgan, second from left); English Heritage’s Liz Forgan (Front, second from left); and philosopher Professor A.C Grayling (pictured behind me, to the right) joined the programme’s Chair Jonathan Dimbleby (pictured behind me to the left) for a really cracking show.

Thanks so much to Julian Martin (pictured far left), Chief Executive of O-Regen, which manages the Score Building, and his team, for all their help and support in putting the event together. Continue reading “‘Any Questions?’ comes to Leyton!!!!”
