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 a quick note to say there’s a ‘Celebrating Retirement’ event at the Civic Suite in Catford on Thursday 26th March from 11am to 4pm.
Admission’s free and there are talks, workshops and taster sessions on how you can stay healthy, happy and independent after you retire. Specifically there’s be a pit stop room on staying healthy, a money shop with advice and info on pensions and benefits, an opportunity to find out about ways to use your spare time, and taster sessions throughout the day.
More details from Sarah chan on 07918 028 859 or from the Lewisham website. It all sounds great – but as I’ve got 40 years to go, I’ll probably not see you there(!)
