I want to inform residents and constituents that on Tuesday the 2nd of May 2017 our Local Ward Party Members will be joined by Emma Reynolds and her team of Labour Party members plus, Labour’s political rising star Keir Starmer, for a visit to the streets of Wednesfield North.
Just to inform you a little about our visitor to Wednesfield North Keir Starmer.
