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
Just back from the Remembrance Sunday service at Lewisham War Memorial. A lovely service led by Father Scott Anderson, with accompaniment from the Sedgehill School Band, St Mary’s Chruch Choir and the 1475 ATC Squadron Band. As always, a good turnout of councillors from all parties.
This year is the 70th anniversary of the start of World War II, but this year I’ve been particualrly struck by The Poppy Appeal’s focus on the Afghan generation of the Armed Forces and their families. They accept online donations here.
