Thank you to the 29,677 people
who voted for me in the London Elections!
It’s a fantastic result; we came
a very comfortable third in the North East constituency with 15.46% , the
LibDems trailing in 4th with 6.09%.
For much of the day I was
actually in 2nd, until the ballot boxes from Chingford were opened! In the
event the Conservatives were only a few percent ahead, at 18.6%. I am very much looking forward to
seeing the ward breakdowns. I would also like to take this
opportunity to congratulate Jeanette Arnold, the Labour Party candidate, on her
victory.
In the Mayoral election Greens
gained 14,498 1st preference vote (7.5%) in the North East constituency, a
massive contribution towards Jenny Jones’ 3rd place. We also gained 41,074 2nd
preference votes (26.7%) in the region.
I have been lucky to have worked
alongside the most amazing and inspirational team of volunteers across the
constituency and to have met many residents working, often against the odds, to
improve their local area and help their community. A special mention
should go to Claire Poyner on her excellent third place in the Holloway
by-election, only just missing out on second.
I’m sorry I wasn’t always able to
make every event and was sometimes frustrated not to do be able to do more, but
like many people I have to work full-time to pay the bills. I am really proud
of our positive campaign. What is clear is that when people
get to hear about our policies and see our hard work they vote for us. Our
messages on key issues such as housing, inequality, policing and small business
were very well received and of course people know that we are the only party to
really understand how to make our streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists,
reduce killer levels of pollution and protect our precious green space.
I look forward to continuing our
campaigning across the North East of London with my amazing team and residents
who want to make North London a more equal, healthy and affordable place to
live. Unfortunately with Boris Johnson in City Hall our efforts are going to be needed
more than ever.
Caroline Allen
Constituency candidate for North
East London.
