Dear Residents, It continues to be my privilege to serve as your local councillor for Wood End ward, working closely with my colleagues Cllr Stuart Mathers and Cllr Elizabeth Garelick. Together, we are actively working to make Wood End ward a safer, cleaner and fairer place to live and thrive. The achievements and updates below reflect the work I’ve personally led on your behalf, as part of our shared commitment to this community and is a glimpse of some of the casework we undertake as your councillors.  Taking Action on Your Local Concerns From Springfield Road traffic concerns to fly-tipping on Avondale Avenue and other hotspots including Central Avenue and Coldharbour Lane junctions, to anti-social behaviour in tower blocks, and supporting elderly residents on Kingsway, I’ve been taking up issues you raise and making sure they get results.  We also continue to support our local police through ward panels and sharing of information, to help tackle ASB and crime from retail spaces and shopping parades, including Lombardy Retail Park. We have  supported residents by liaising with council services on housing, tenancy, waste and enforcement and much more. Standing Up for Our Parks and Public Spaces Our green spaces are at the heart of our community. I’ve been working with the council’s Green Spaces team to push for better maintenance, investment and accessibility in parks and green areas across the ward—from Minet Country Park, Barra Hall, Albion Road and Rosedale Park, to smaller community greens. We have also lobbied for the resurfacing of the car park near St Mary’s Church, a much-used facility that has been neglected for too long. Delivering Local Investment Through our Ward Budget grants, we’ve backed: Local schools with small but meaningful funding Cricket clubs and Scouts groups that support youth activity Community centres offering vital services to residents Festive and cultural events, including Christmas gatherings that bring us together These grants are a great way to give back to the groups doing the hard work on the ground. My Work in the Council Chamber In Hillingdon Council, I’ve brought motions and supported campaigns that reflect your priorities: Decent Housing Standards: I supported a motion that demanded real improvements to housing quality, making clear that too many local residents are being failed by the current system. Fire Safety in Tower Blocks: I’ve called for urgent improvements in safety systems across our high-rises, many right here in Wood End. Inclusive Consultations: I successfully lobbied for changes to how residents are consulted—calling for a process that is inclusive, transparent and geographically fair. Protecting Local Heritage: I stood up to protect Barra Hall, arguing that our historic buildings must be preserved for future generations. Backing the Beck: I supported the campaign to save the Beck Theatre from the risk of closure—championing the importance of arts, culture and performance for all communities in Hillingdon. Raising Local Issues in Committees In my committee roles, I’ve continued to fight for our community: Tackling ASB in tower blocks with recommendations on security, lighting, and council-police coordination Championing school street safety with calls for traffic calming, better crossings, and child-safe planning Here for You Whether it's a fly-tip report, a planning objection, or a borough-wide policy—I, along with Stuart and Ella, am your voice at the council table. We will keep working to make sure Wood End gets the attention and resources it deserves. Please reach out if we can assist you in any way. Warm regards, Kamal Preet Kaur  Councillor for Wood End  Chair, Hillingdon Labour Group
