I notice Mr. Barber has won the Online Councillor of the Year award. Many congratulations James - richly deserved! His online presence has made me feel a lot more in touch with local government. In previous areas I've lived I can honestly say I rarely knew who my councillor was - they were pretty invisible. Having James' presence on here makes the whole process so much more accessible - it's very refreshing!

That is really kind of you both.

I've never received an award for anything before and have been surprised how very chuffed I feel to be recognised by my peers.

But the work I do on the EDF does generate a lot of casework and without the myriad of officers answering and helping with queries and problems it wouldn't really work. So I owe them a big thanks as well as everyone trusting me to try helping them in the first place.

Thirdeded. Although Vicki was around for a while, it's a shame that other councillors haven't followed James's lead here. I really think that having a councillor 'on tap' is a brilliant thing to have. James and Barry Jones (on the railway thread) have made me believe that I can have a say on things that really do affect my life.

Congratulations James.

The endevours that James has made is for the benefit of all living in this ward, he is the

Liberal Democrat Councillor for East Dulwich Ward.

We have had so much sorted out for all of us that we are grateful to him.

There is no set hours, but to be dedicated spending many hours of leisure time the only pleasure is in achieving success.

Agreed!

Having been at the DCC meeting on Wednesday that addressed North Cross Road market extension, can I also congratulate James on his F2F?


Not an easy meeting, given all the participants. But James chaired extremely well, and councillors (in general) came out way ahead of Southwark officers on this one (with some Southwark officers seeming to have agendas of their own, but also fairly feeble at conducting professional consultations).

    • So what would be your preference then, Spartacus, and why?
    • Hi, Looking for a bedframe with no head or footboard for a double mattress. Normal UK double. Ideally wood. If someone has one to sell or give away please get in touch, thank you!  
    • Great answer, but how do you then square it up with pension pots investments without adversely impacting future growth.  Buit of a tricky one as on one hand it should be nationalised but on the other we don't want to see future pension poverty relying on government top ups.  Far too complicated for a simple answer
