Shining a light for LibDems
As well as having his say on tower blocks after helping Catalyst Housing Group get their 34 storey block at the expense of a coherent community and 232 social housing units on the Friary Park estate Ealing Liberal Democrat Group Leader Councillor Gary Malcolm is now up in arms about street lighting. As usual the Lib Dem is missing the point and helping his Labour Councillor mates as the political elites always do. In 2015 Labour Cllr Bassam Mahfouz established Ealing’s ‘Smart City’ project by having SSE Enterprise run street lights in the Borough. There was no consultation with any community or environmental groups about allowing a failing private firm to provide public services. Why has jet-setting Gary made no mention of fellow Councillor Mahfouz or Andy Marcham, the SSE Enterprise Lighting Operations Manager Fin Kelly, Strategic Lead for Digital and Smart Cities at Ealing who all have their hands deep in the taxpayers pockets?
