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
You might have read in the Newsshopper that two ladies in their late 80′s from Downham let a man into their home after he showed them a police warrant card and badge.
He asked various questions about their security and managed – with the help of an accomplice – to steal a £1,000 from the bedroom. It was money saved to pay for their funerals.
My councillor colleagues in Downham ward want to help these ladies and are organising a Quiz Night and Raffle at The Downham Tavern this Thursday
(19th) to raise some money to help reimburse them.
The quiz starts at 7.30pm at the Downham Tavern – it’s £3 per person for a team of up to five. Everyone’s welcome – you can book a place by calling 8314 7747, or just turn up on the night.
