C.A.G Reply: We're very glad you enjoyed the match!  Hopefully we'll organise another match in a few months.  Thank you for coming and showing your support.

However, we do need to use our politicians both in the London Assembly and House of Commons as they often carry more weight than we do.  For example we have made contact with members of the Green Party, Liberal Democrats, Conservatives, Labour and UKIP at the London Assembly.  In addition to this we have had support from Jon Cruddas, who was Labour M.P. for Barking & Dagenham and Andrew Rosindell who was Conservative M.P. for Romford (neither election count is in at the time of writing this).  All of these people have been elected to their positions by 'us' and are paid to work for 'us'. 

Margaret Mullane, Labour candidate for Romford has expressed her support for our campaign through the local press.

To enter into a debate as to who is lying would not be conducive with our non-political stance and I am sure that all of these people feel that they have supported us within the confines of their positions.

C.A.G. Reply: Please see submission 98.

Although I don't know much about the C.A.G,. I worked with Roger closely for 11 years. He was a fellow Union officer and a truly conscientious man. It was a pleasure knowing Roger and all his fellow workmates at Hatfield were truly shocked and saddened when we heard the news last Tuesday. Our thoughts go to Kim and Katrina at this time, and I know that Roger truly doted on his little girl as we were always fixing his pc for him. Not often you see several grown men around a pc trying to load Barbie games but he got us doing it.
Last time I saw Roger he was excited about becoming a School Governor and his association with this group. A really nice gentleman that will be missed.

May I just add that I am so glad that you mentioned Roger Jenkins on your message board. Those of us that knew him are just so shocked and saddened by his tragic death. Roger was a good kind man, and a gentleman, someone who really cared about the things that affected us, and he was prepared to stand up for what he believed in! We are all going to miss him terribly, a good neighbour , friend and colleague. Deepest sympathy to Kim and Katrina. 

Very sad news concerning Roger. A community-minded man, his help with CAG was typical of his giving-nature judging by the comments of others who knew him. Pauline & I are thinking of Roger & send our love & healing to his family. He will be sadly missed.

We have contacted both Barking and Dagenham and Havering councils with regard to the message board submission about fly tipping on Westlands Rough.  To date we have heard nothing from B&D, but Havering have been quick to reply, saying that the matter has been passed to Area Liason Officer, Malcolm Hubbard.  Let's hope the matter is dealt with speedily.

I've just got back from walking the dog over Westland's Rough (Tuesday 12th April) and found that some lowlife has started dumping household rubbish (an old wheelbarrow and two green carpets) on the footpath leading from Southern Way, this wasn't there on Monday Morning.  This is really going to look good when the "Crossrail Action Group" has referred to it as "an area of Natural Conservation Interest and houses hundreds of species of plant and animal".  If this carries on you may as well hand Westland's Rough over to Crossrail on a plate.

C.A.G. Reply: Thank you for letting us know.  We will try to find out who is responsible for clearing the rubbish on this particular piece of land.  As Westlands Rough belongs to Barking and Dagenham Council, we will get in touch with them.
