Letter to editors: Take the GLA Brexit Survey
Dear editor,
Brexit is the most pressing issue facing the UK today and I would like to hear your views about it.
A year on from the vote to leave the European Union (EU), I and my colleagues in the London Assembly Labour Group have launched a survey to hear local residents’ views on how Brexit will impact on a wide range of issues including jobs, the cost of living and public services.
In last year’s referendum 48% of those who voted nationally voted to remain in the EU, but a much higher proportion of Londoners did so: 60%. Locally, the figure was even higher sill , with 62% of Barnet and 75% of Camden residents voting to remain.
Whilst polling shows that the majority of Londoners still want to remain in the EU, Brexit is supposed to be completed by March 2019. I believe it is important that I know from local people and businesses on what issues they consider the government should focus in the negotiations. We will report on the survey conclusions later in the year , to influence the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan and the Government.
The link to the survey is below. Please take a few minutes to complete it to give me your views. The survey will remain open until 1st September.
