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
Congratulations to the Sausage Man on his victory in the ‘Who Do You Love’ competition! You’ve probably seen his distinctive blue and white van at Lewisham market, but the sausage man himself – David Rundel – is a Lee Green resident. It’s great to see someone local winning this award, which is voted for by people right across Lewisham.
I’ve bought the odd hotdog from David in the past, but hadn’t had his fresh sausages until last week when my colleague Sven (who’s a man who knows his German sausage) cooked me some. I have to say, they’re first class and the Who Do You Love award’s clearly well deserved! I’ve since discovered there’s even a Facebook group devoted to the Sausage Man, and he’s been featured in Time Out – so others clearly feel the same.
