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
Though Christmas might seem a long way off now (particularly if you’ve got lots of shopping still to do!), this time next week, it’ll all be over and the Council will be launching their Christmas Tree recycling facilities!
You’ll be able to drop your old (real!) tree at Manor House Gardens (Old Road entrance) from 27th December until the last week of January during park opening hours.
Your tree will be chipped and used as mulch in parks around the borough.
The pic on the right shows the Lee Green Christmas Tree mountain back in January 2007.
