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
Offer letters went out to parents of 4/5 year olds this week. I understand that a number of parents, particularly in Lee Green and Blackheath, haven’t got the school of their choice, and have received offers of places at schools some distance away. This of course, is a legacy of the lack of places caused by the Mayor’s decision to close Ennersdale Primary School in the first place.
My colleague Cllr Chris Maines is collecting examples so he can put together the full picture. If you’re a parent who is dissatisfied with your offer from the Council, please do drop Chris a line at cllr_chris.maines {at} lewisham.gov(.)uk – do copy me in, too.
