We have been informed that the office of DABD in Barking Town Centre is a hive of political campaigning.
It is said that Darren Rodwell and Dominic Twomey both work for DABD which is a registered charity and is also funded by the local authority.
Now it seems that their office has become one centre of operation for Barking Labour Party.
Perhaps Mr Rodwell and Mr Twomey should read the rules of the Charity Commission especially those that relate to political activity.

A VERY STRONG RUMOUR
This story comes from an ex Barking Party member, while we have agreed to print it we take no responsibility for the accuracy of the story sent over to us.
It appears that a very Senior well known Member of Barking party has been caught out doing the tango with another members missus. We don't know the name of the Senior well known Member but we are assured that if we mention that he has a very strong and vested interest in Becontree Builders many of you will know immediately who he is.
Of course out of respect for the injured member in this very sordid and sad tale we will not be naming the dance partner.
But we are pretty sure that you will understand what we mean by tango.

THE STORIES ABOUT HIM JUST KEEP ON COMING
This memory comes courtesy of a Dagenham member.
It seems that back in 2005/06 prior to the last local elections Darren Rodwell was informed that he had missed the boat in being selected to stand for labour as he had only just joined the party.
Rodwell was very angry to say the least as it was said he was of the belief that a place was his by right because he was Chair of the residents association, and according to him all of the work he had done in the community. Of course no mention was made of all the money his "company" had pocketed from the council while doing this "work".
Anyway it is said that Rodwell then claimed that he would stand as an Independent because he firmly believed that only an Independent such as himself could beat the BNP.
Now of course we all know now that Rodwell did no such thing, then, but Dagenham members have long memories and we hear that there is now growing concern that Rodwell is only using labour as a vehicle in his attempt to get elected this time round.
Dagenham members have long memories and they are very much aware that Rodwell does not subscribe to the principles of the Labour Party, and of course there is a lot of evidence now which proves he does not abide by the Party rules.
Concern is growing we hear that if Rodwell were to get elected this time round his first job will be to cross the floor and become an Independent councillor.
Just wonder how the voters in Alibon would react to that???

JUST HOW DOES HE DO IT?
We have been asked by a number of our readers to put this question to you.
It appears that on the London Patriot website, which many will know is the website for the London members of the BNP, there was a recent article about Darren Rodwell and UAF.
We have been told by many who are Labour Party members that when they have in the past tried to make comments on this site, even though the public are encouraged to comment, their comments are never let through the moderation and printed.
It seems Mr Rodwell does not have this problem as his comments have been published in full, and we hear in another article today he has been invited to make his comments on todays article.
Now not to skate on thin ice, but, could this be because of the very friendly relationship between Mr Rodwell and his friends with the BNP?

TEMPERS ARE GETTING FRAYED
We have learned that the officers of Valence Ward are absolutely furious at the high handed approach of the North Street mafia.
We understand that none of the officers or ward members were aware that Mrs Letchford had withdrawn, but, more importantly they were not told that Maureen Worby had been brought in to take her place, they were not invited to take part in her interview. In fact there is no evidence that any interview took place.
Now perhaps a year ago some members and officers in the Ward would not have been aware of the Party Rules and how they apply to the Selection procedure, they are now very well aware of the rules.
They know for instance that the Local Government Committee must meet to confirm the candidates - this we all know has not taken place.
Selection of ward candidates is done by the ward, unless of course there is an emergency, there is no emergency in this instance.
So questions we hear are now being asked, just what does Darren Rodwell think he and his mafia are doing? NO Chair of the Local Government Committee has the power Mr Rodwell seems to think he has.
These issues are we have been told now being taken up by Valence Ward members.

COUNCILLOR BARRY POULTON FOUND GUILTY
We have been very reliably informed, that, following a recent Neighbourhood Management Board meeting on Thames Ward which at that time Councillor Poulton chaired in excess of 20 letters of complaint about his actions were made to the Standards Board at the council.
The complaints were made we are told because Councillor Barry Poulton lost his temper and was extremely rude and aggressive towards an 80 years old female resident.
This case was heard by the Standards Board recently and we have been told that Councillor Barry Poulton was found guilty, he has been instructed by the Standards Board to write a letter of apology, and if, he were to be re-elected to the Council he must undergo training to modify his behaviour in the future.
The elderly resident concerned who does not wish to be named has said that "people like Barry Poulton hold a position of respect in the community and should behave as such", she said that she has lost all respect both for him and his position as a councillor.
As yet there is no sign at all of the letter of apology.

Word from the streets
Just a small piece of news for you all to think over. We have been informed that Rob Chapman has thrown in the towel and walked away from North Street. Last heard walking down the street mumbling "impossible" "bloody impossible".
Next in line for the job for what must have been the shortest time ever was Jennifer, whoever Jennifer is.
But, then we hear Mr Rodwell has decided he doesn't like being out of the limelight, so he has elected himself (very constitutionally minded, is Mr Rodwell) as the Agent, and chief cook and bottle washer.
Obviously no team work there then, just every man/woman for herself. Its getting more and more like Westminster everyday don't you think?

VALENCE WARD
Word on the street is that North Street have dumped Letchfords wife and she will no longer be standing as a candidate. And while they were dropping her off in one gutter they crossed the road and resurrected Maureen Worby from the gutter on the other side.
The suck up patsy John (brown envelope) Davis who is Chair of Barking CLP must be raging on the inside as we hear and many know he was instrumental in getting rid of Maureen Worby from Dagenham CLP.
Just goes to prove the lie that North Street are giving out, that their candidates are forward thinking and progressive when they trot out 2 failures in Cameron Geddes and Maureen Worby.
