Shivani Raja MP raises constituent concerns on Jesse Jackson Park event

Several residents have contacted me about the event last weekend at Jesse Jackson Park and my team and I have been speaking with the Rushey Mead Ward Cllrs the City Council to find out what’s going on.

I understand that the event is authorised, but residents have raised a number of concerns and have told me that they are angry at the event being permitted.

That's why I’ve written to the Council’s Chief Executive, Alison Greenhill, to find out what consultation took place with residents ahead of permission being granted. You can read my letter to her below
