Cllr Seema Kumar recently scrutinised the Labour Council on the financial viability of their proposed redevelopment of Gurnell.
She discovered that:
1. The Council do not know which assets they may sell to fund Gurnell;
2. The Cabinet have not approved a financial appraisal;
3. The Council do not yet know how large the funding gap will be for the project.
It is clear that Labour do not know what they are doing. For three elections they campaigned on a promise to re-develop Gurnell. Now they have a ‘plan’, but it is unviable. In its current form, it is a reckless gamble. Only the Ealing Conservatives are standing up for residents.
