Oliver Durose comments:
“I am proud to have been selected as Labour’s candidate for December’s general election. I’ve lived in Brentwood and Ongar since I was 5 years old. I’ve seen how Tory cuts have decimated our local services. It doesn’t have to be like this. Local people in Brentwood & Ongar deserve real change. And they deserve a local candidate to make it happen.”
“This election will decide our planet’s future. That’s why I’m making a Green New Deal a top priority of our campaign, fighting for more green, unionised jobs and investment in renewables in the area.”
Richard Millwood, Chair of Brentwood & Ongar Labour Party, comments:
“I welcome the selection of Oliver Durose as Labour’s Candidate for Brentwood & Ongar for December’s general election. As someone who grew up in the constituency, I know that he would do everything he could to improve the lives of local people in Brentwood & Ongar, if he were elected on December 12th. I look forward to supporting him as Labour’s candidate.”
