News for Havering residents, Thursday 25 July 2019.
There is no other place that I would wish to live than Havering. This borough is truly a remarkable and community spirited collection of towns and villages.
Over the last few months, Government Ministers have pushed the idea of additional public spending to put our country in the best position to embrace Brexit. For me, local Government has to be the clear target of any additional funding, having become one of the most efficient parts of the public sector, but with also the largest reduction in support than any other area of our state since 2010.
I will therefore be working with other authority leaders, and our own MPs, seeking additional funds to support our Council. Any additional monies must be ploughed both into our social services (adult and children) and our wider community.
A budget consultation will be launched this autumn and should any real, additional, funding materialise then our residents will help to decide where it will be spent.
Cllr Damian White
Leader, Havering Council

This Saturday, 27 July, the Romford Pride 2019 parade takes place in Romford Town Centre.
The parade begins at midday near Romford Station and makes its way down South Street to Romford Market. It then circles the market before heading back to South Street, opposite The Moon & Stars pub, where the main stage and Pride stalls are located for the day.
 Get on your bike for summer. Havering Council has once again joined forces with Cycle Confident, to offer free cycle training across the borough.
There will be a host of cycling activities to enjoy, at five Bikewise hubs that will run from Monday 29 July until the end of August. The programme offers training for all ages and abilities – from learning-to-ride sessions for children to bike maintenance workshops.
 Limber up for Romford Pride with the Legwarmerz in Romford Market from 11.30am this Saturday (27 July). Enjoy the cheesy soundtrack and try out this hilarious fitness class.
Perfomances run from 11.30am - noon, 1 to 1.30pm, and 2 to 2.30pm.
 With the school summer holidays on there are lots of activities on offer in the borough to help children achieve their recommended 60 minutes of activity per day.
Havering Council has put together a Summer Fun booklet packed full of information.
There will be a sneak preview of some of the performers at this year's Havering Show in Romford Market on Saturday 10 August.
From 11am to 4pm you will be able to see Charlie Dillon from ITV's The Voice Kids, Charlotte Ambrose, Mr Soul and others giving you a flavour of just some of the entertainment on offer as the Havering Show returns to Harrow Lodge Park, in Hornchurch, on the August Bank Holiday weekend.
Tickets are available now at a discounted rate of just £3 per day. The Show is supported by The Romford Recorder, which features performances from Aswad and Toploader on the main stage sponsored by London City Airport and hosted by Time FM.
Other attractions include a Community Performance stage sponsored by Marlborough Highways and a Sports Zone sponsored by Everyone Active, licensed bars, street food, a mini farm and children's activities.
