Internally, I will sit on the Children’s and Young People’s Scrunity Panel, Tenants Council and the Performance and Improvement Panel. Externally, I now represent the Council as the Chair of the Leyton and Whipps Cross Community Council and sit on the board of regeneration board O-Regen.

I will keep you fully informed of further developments.
