Can we draft Clive Efford in to Greenwich? He seems an excellent constituency MP – everytime I’m in Eltham he seems to be around.
Quite a contrast with the Rt. Hon Nick Raynsford who I see very rarely, despite inviting him to several community events in the past few years he always seems to have a more pressing parliamentary engagement… Mind you, with an election coming up I’m sure I will see him for his 5 yearly appearance at the school gates…

The post about Clive Efford is just bizarre, some windows have been replaced, so that must mean the MP is standing down? He didn’t appear to be going anywhere the other day when he was kind enough to help me at his surgery!

On a Council-wide scale the current administration doesn’t seem to keen to embrace the customer focus approach that sounds to be working well in Lewisham. However, on a local level I am always impressed with and grateful for Mary Mills hard work as a ward councillor especially with issues such as planning and traffic. I might just vote for only her if we get several votes.

The word out there is that Peter Bottomley’s successor as MP for Eltham, Clive Efford, is also about to do a chicken run. Apparently his pictures and name have already been replaced with a generic Vote Labour posters and pictures of Gordon Brown in the local Labout office.

Regarding the Peninsula, anybody who lives there suffers on a daily basis because of the diabolical traffic arrangements in the area and only someone with a very strong conviction for the party’s cause would vote for the people who created the mess. So no wonder Chris Roberts is moving to a safer ward.

Quite so, Tom.
Jim – if you don’t find the Gilligan blog dull, why do you read it? I can’t be bothered with it most of the time.

How does this berate “his own backyard”? You confuse Greenwich with Greenwich Council. They aren’t actually the same thing, y’know. Although maybe it feels like they are down in the bunker, Jim?

Gilligan really is a bore…

Yet another incident put down to the Olympics.

Why does Greenwich.co.uk give a platform to the man who likes to do nothing more than berate his own backyard?
