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
We’re in the middle of Fairtrade fortnight (22nd Feb- 7th March) and to celebrate there are a few Fairtrade events coming up at Manor House Library:
- borrow a book, CD or DVD and get a free fairtrade teabag (while stocks last!)
- on Monday coming (1st March), the Manor House is hosting a Fairtrade Tea Dance from 2pm until 4pm. Fairtrade tea and cakes are provided. Call 8852 0357 to book your place.
- there’ll be a showing of the Black Gold Movie ( a film about coffee and trade) on Saturday 6th March at 2.30pm
- ‘The Luckiest Nut in the World’ is an event for kids and families on Sunday 7th March at 1pm
All sounds good – disappointed I can’t make it for the Fairtrade cake, but probably best that the public is spared my dancing…!
