Just a minor query - any reason this thread title covers May-Dec 2015 and not May 2015-April 2016, as was previously the case before this May?

Sad to report death of George Meehan, Labour councillor for Woodside ward on Haringey, and several times Leader of the council. He was indeed. I have many happy memories of George bellowing in my right earhole when I was chair of Labour group. George was councillor for three different wards at various times due to troubles with the then left... Only pre 1990 councillor still serving is Eddie Griffith (elected 1986) and he's had a break in service. Gina Adamou has been serving continuously since 1990. |
