From 2006 to 2010, I was a councillor for Lee Green ward in the London Borough of Lewisham. During that time, I blogged regularly and in 2009 I won the Tim Garden Award for the Best Blog by a Liberal Democrat Holding Public Office. My blog posts from my term of office are archived here in case they prove of use to former constituents, or to those who share my annoyance with faulty street furniture
Just back from the town hall. After two and a half hours of discussion, the Northbrook plans were approved by the Strategic Planning Committee, with only one councillor voting against.
As I promised to do at the public meeting back in June, I used my right to speak at the committee to represent the views of local residents. Representatives from the Lee Manor Society, NAG and the Manor House Gardens Users Group also spoke.
I’m sure I and others will write more about this in the days to come – but I’m knackered, so that’s all for now!
