  • Labour Abbey Ward Achievements

    Transformed Abbey Green and the historic Abbey ruins into a cleaner, greener space, while building a dedicated volunteer team to keep Abbey ward streets clean.

    Built strong links with local businesses, stayed accessible to residents at times that suit them, and organised regular community events bringing people together from across the borough.

    Resurfaced Cranbourne Road and set up a shower facility at Barking Learning Centre, providing hot showers, fresh towels, soap, and hygiene kits for those in need.

  • Apply for a Postal Vote

    Apply for a Postal Vote

    Labour volunteer teams have been out across the ward extensively over the last few week listening to residents. A number of residents have asked about applying for postal votes for the elections in May.

    Voting by post is the safest and easiest way to make sure your vote counts. The quickest and easiest way setup postal voting is by applying online via the Government’s website here.

    You can also download, print out and fill in a paper postal vote application form. This should then be sent to your local Electoral Registration Office.

    Your Labour Community Team can help with lots of things, but unfortunately we can’t help you complete or return these forms. Do ask a friend or neighbour if you need help.
