Alan Bailey, the BNP Councillor for Gooshays Ward in Harold Hill, unexpectedly resigned this week from Havering Council, he has given his reason as moving to Coventry with his family, rather than actually being “Sent to Coventry” by the other 53 members on Havering Council.
In just under two years, since being elected in 2006, from memory, he has only spoken once, at last years budget meeting and it was for no more than 2 minutes, that’s all he has ever said in the Town Hall. As he is a party of one, he does not have any positions on any of the scrutiny committees either.
The Gooshays ward was a close run thing in May 2006 (click here for details) the BNP came top followed by two Conservatives, the three Labour candidates were just a few behind, with Labour’s Yve Cornell losing to Conservative Keith Wells on the toss of a coin as there vote was the same after four recounts.
No details have yet been published about the election timetable and date of the by-Election; however it will have to be started ASAP as it will affect the start of the London wide, GLA elections that kick off the second half of March.
