Well, Christmas must nearly be upon us- in the last week I've been to two festive light switch-ons. Tonight was the annual 'Eltham Lights Up' event, with a lantern parade of local school children and a firework display in the high street. All very enjoyable, and a nice diversion at a time of gloomy weather and even gloomier economic conditions. We councillors were also able to chat to residents in the 'Talk Cafe' tent, where a host of comments (mostly complaints) were also sorted on the discussion boards. I'll be asking at the next Council what will happen to these- in past years we haven't been entirely sure that they weren't taken down and ignored.
