Local elections 2014

In May 2014 Waltham Forest TUSC stood 33 candidates across the borough for the local council. We were very proud to receive 5,482 votes. You can read a report of the campaign here

Our candidates were ordinary people – people who work in Waltham Forest and are having their wages and conditons attacked, people who live in the borough and are suffering from the rocketing rents, people with a history of campaigning in the community – we can be the politicians.
