To start with: What this is for

We have an ongoing discussion about 'Councillors Contracts' and how we (and others) monitor and value what we spend our time on as councillors. Some people have the (mistaken) impression that councillors get paid vast amounts of money for it. Different people within the political parties that select us and work for our election have different ideas about what makes a 'good' candidate, and a 'good' councillor.

I will try to make very short, simple and factual posts to this blog, documenting everything I do as a councillor at the time I do it, starting with the Council AGM on Wednesday 28th March 2012. I will use abbreviations and will not attempt to make the contents accessible to anyone else; but I will leave this blog public to read and will (at least to start with) allow public comments. I will not promise to respond to any comments at all (but I may delete them, with no explanation). I will not necessarily confine posts to activities that are strictly "council duties" but may include other things like election campaigning. (I do that anyway, and I did plenty when I was not a councillor, but some people think it's part of what I'm expected to do as a councillor.)

I will include posts about casework I do for individuals, but will of course anonymise the people involved. If you think I have included too much information about someone, which may make them identifiable, then please contact me urgently (you can find contact details on the Lewisham Council website) so I can correct this.

Let's see whether it works...
