Virendra Sharma - Serving Ealing Southall, Uniting the Community

A message to the voters of Ealing Southall

By Virendra Sharma

I have served and represented the people of Ealing Southall for 28 years. Hanwell and Southall are where I have lived with my wife and family for almost all my adult life. My children and grandchildren were born in Ealing Hospital and attended or currently go to local schools. We are firmly rooted in the local community and I want the very best for every family and individual in Ealing, Hanwell and Southall.

It has been an enormous honour and privilege to serve as your local Member of Parliament for the last nearly three years. I have met literally thousands of you at my regular weekly surgeries and have tried to resolve your problems through the facility of my constituency office. I have also tried to meet as many of you as I could at community events and celebrations. I have taken up many issues in Parliament on your behalf and will continue to be a strong voice for Ealing Southall whatever the cost. I resigned as a ministerial aide in order to make my opposition to Heathrow expansion clear. In a recent parliamentary debate I received assurances from the Health Minister that there are no plans to close Ealing Hospital A & E Department despite what has been rumoured. I will speak up for local people against the Tory approved Southall Gas Works development that will bring traffic chaos to Southall. I will fight to protect jobs, homes and businesses in Ealing Southall as we come out of the global recession.

I have never taken the MPs' second home allowance and regularly use busses and tubes to travel to and from my home in Southall to Parliament. I have only ever taken allowances that cover the cost of running my office and help me serve you as your MP.

If re-elected I will continue to work hard to unite all the communities in the constituency and continue to hold my weekly surgeries and serve you through my office in the constituency. I will always be there for you.
