Labour Councillor for East Finchley, London Borough of Barnet.
Remembrance Sunday at St Kilda’s is always a moving occasion, but especially for me today, as it was my last time laying a wreath as a Councillor.
I think about all those who serve or have served that I have met over the last 14 years, and forever grateful to them.

It is a sad day indeed for Barnet that our wonderful former Mayor Agnes Slocombe has passed away, just a month after being awarded her MBE
She represented West Hendon ward from 1982 to 2018, and was the first black female Mayor in Barnet, serving in 1997-8.
Rest in power Agnes.

I’ve been appointed as the chair of the audit committee of the NLWA. To chair one audit committee may be considered a misfortune, but two looks like carelessness!
Anyway, I look forward to my new responsibilities!
Here is a photo of me recycling!

Very moving service of remembrance this morning at St Paul’s Cathedral for the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre.
I spoke to an East Finchley family and heard about how the experience of a grandmother still shapes the lives of her grandchildren.

Lovely to support Cllr Martin Whelton at his Mayoral reception in Pollards Hill. It’s his second stint, after a gap of 17 years.

Absolutely loving this book on Emperor Justinian. Such a titanic figure yet comparatively little known- and as far as I am aware never really committed to film or TV.
He deserves so much more recognition than he currently has.

It was a real pleasure to attend the Borough Civic Dinner with representatives from our twin towns.
These twinning arrangements are a reminder of the international ties we have, and the shared history we have with the rest of the world.
