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
Having stuck his head above the parapet and offered himself for election as our local MP, you might have thought my colleague Pete Pattisson had taken on enough new challenges lately. But no – Pete’s now signed up to do the London 10k run on behalf of the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, along with his wife Jo.
The Suzy Lamplugh trust works to raise awareness of the importance of personal safety and to help people avoid violence and agression. I know they do a lot of work with vulnerable lone workers (like housing officers) so it’s a great cause.
If you’d like to sponsor Pete and Jo, you can do so here.
