Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, is set to visit Gants Hill to help the Redbridge Conservatives launch their election bid on Tuesday (6).

The visit, scheduled for 4.30pm at the tube station, will see Mr Johnson discuss regeneration plans for Gants Hill and the Tories’ seven point manifesto ahead of the local elections later this month.

Labour leader Ed Miliband came to Barkingside on Thursday to launch his party’s local and European election campaign.
