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
The mobile library that’s been providing services from the forecourt of the Manor House has to leave its present position before Monday so that work landscaping and tarmacing at the front of the house can begin.
The refurbished library will open in early May. In the interim, there are alternative library facilities on Lewisham High Street and in Blackheath Village. The Library Service will also be setting up a number of outreach activities with schools and local venues to bridge the gap between the mobile library closing and the Manor House reopening.
If you haven’t already seen my video of the refurbishment work, it’s available here (and Steven Spielberg I ain’t!). I’m hoping to get a sneak preview before the opening, and if I do I’ll try and get some images to post here. I’m sure all the disruption is going to be well worth it!
