Cllr Barrett said: “It is an honour and privilege to take on the role of Leader of the Residents’ Association and Leader of the Opposition. I hope to carry on the excellent work of Cllr Barbara Matthews who has done a fantastic job as leader over the last 10 years.
“Any democracy is only as strong as its opposition and I aim to give the people of Havering an opposition which will continue to scrutinise and hold to account the performance of the current Administration.
“We have one of the largest Residents’ Associations in the country and it is with optimism, confidence and belief that we will continue to grow and represent the views, hopes and aspirations of the people of Havering”.
