If you click on the BLOG marker above you will see my latest Newsletter about life as a councillor in Battersea, in London Borough of Wandsworth. You will also see more than 200 editions in a compendium of my newsletters going back to 2010. This shows that I have been a councillor for quite a long time - actually all of 55 years dating back to 1971. OK, so I am not as energetic as I was back then, but I am a lot more experienced and, I think, wiser. But do read and make your own judgement. By the way, if you wish to have my newsltter sent to you every month, but only once per month, then send me an email on tonybelton99@gmail.com and I will sign you up. I do hope that you find it interesting and do email me if you have any comments or queries.
