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
Every year (well, the last few), Total Politics magazine publishes a guide to UK Blogging. They’re trailing the guide by publishing their top blogs of various types on their Party Lines blog over the next few weeks.
I’m really chuffed to say I’m one of their top 30 councillor blogs. I just scraped in at number 28, but this is the second highest ranking Lib Dem blog. Congratulations to all the other councillors who made the list, especially fellow Lib Dems Cllr Fraser MacPherson (Dundee) who was the top Lib Dem and Cllrs Alex Folkes (Cornwall) and Mary Reid (Kingston upon Thames), who also made the top 30.
