Lets hope This Christmas our Labour Council shelf's plans to close Amersham early Learning centre and gives more thought into supporting services for young people to get them out of gang culture.
The Biggest rogues in New Cross award would proberly go to New cross Labour councillors for taking thousands of pounds of public money whilst failing to show up for Meetings, whilst allways showing up to vote through cuts and closure to front line services.
