Hatch End Conservative councillor Susan Hall, who has been struggling to come out of the political ditch since she pushed her way to the Harrow council in 2006, is a sad story.
Cllr Hall tried but was not selected a parliamentary or GLA candidate from Harrow.
The Conservative group was happily running the council since 2006 when unexpectedly lost the council in 2010 council elections under its designated group leader, Cllr Hall, as the previous leader retired. Her obsession with the CPZ (controlled parking zone), unpopular because of being heavy-handedly implemented in some parts of the borough, was a key factor in the defeat.
As the opposition leader of the council, Cllr Hall performance was mostly felt ineffective and the Conservative group repeatedly failed to win the public trust needed to regain the council. After some years, when the Conservative group recovered under the new leadership, the group won the council in 2022 elections.
Cllr Hall journey to the City Hall, as an unelected assembly member, has been equally unfruitful as she seems to be burning most of her energy in trying to derail Sadiq Khan, the London mayor – perhaps she has a needle for ‘disgraceful’ Sadiq Khan.
Her activism against the London Mayor initiative, Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), to clear up London’s air across all London boroughs, including Harrow, failed as out of 32 London boroughs, four Conservative councils went for a judicial review challenging the ULEZ expansion but lost (about £150,000 Harrow ratepayers money wasted).
On the back of the ULEZ play, Cllr Hall entered in the London mayor election race last year but was badly rejected by the Londoners despite her ‘nasty’ campaign, based on scaremongering and extreme personalised negativity, well-supported by the far-right.
After the Knighthood announcement of mayor Sadiq Khan, third time London mayor, last year, Hall’s loyal ward colleague launched a toxic petition to stop the Knighthood of Sadiq Khan. The petition, extensively supported by the far-right, made no difference and Sadiq Khan has been knighted.
Apparently inspired by the success of playing the ‘grooming gang’ card for quick attention-seeking and publicity, Hall asked Sir Sadiq Khan about (out of context) ‘how many grooming gangs are in London’ but failed to define ‘grooming gang’ when enquired. Her ‘grooming gang’ veiled attack, though heavily praised by the far-right social media activists, is widely ignored.
The latest is that Hall has written to the GLA’s monitoring officer that the mayor had appeared to “contravene” the gifts and hospitality procedure by not timely declaring six tickets to watch the American star from a box at Wembley Stadium on 15 August.
“The mayor’s office will continue to ensure all the right processes are followed, and looks forward to explaining the approach that was taken in this instance” the mayor’s office has said.
Interesting that Cllr Hall was in the headline, Harrow Council Conservative Group leader under police investigation, for allegedly failing to declare the pecuniary interest and follow the relevant procedures at a council meeting.

Harrow Monitoring Group 
Seems that gullible Residents of Harrow have let Loser Hall & her screwed up Conservative followers lead them on a Wild Goose Chase for a considerable time ⏲️, wasting Council Money 💰 & time in the process including Racist Rants against the Knighted Mayor of London while Fouling the Air with her brand of Vindictive & Divisive Politics instead of Cleaning up her Act 🎬 since the days of coming under Police 🚔 Investigations 🔎 for Dubious Financial Conduct & also leading the Conservatives to Glorious Defeat in the Council Elections! Disgraceful & Disturbing.
