Local councillor and Lib Dem parliamentary spokesperson Lynne Featherstone has been shortlisted for a prestigious award for her online musings on politics and life.

The nomination for Lynne’s popular local ‘blog’ [weblog] comes from the Guardian Unlimited, which has shortlisted 12 website diaries nation-wide for a prize.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“I enjoy writing the blog about the Greater London Authority and the council, and it is nice to see that readers appreciate it. I’ll be watching the final results of the Guardian’s competition with interest.”

The blog is at www.lynnefeatherstone.org/blog.htm.

The nomination quoted by the Guardian reads:

“How about Lynne Featherstone, Lib Dem councillor in Haringey and London Assembly member? She manages to combine critical coverage of Livingstone’s London with pointed comments about the inadequacies of Labour’s administration in Haringey, at the same time actively promoting Lib Dem values and policies. She seems a very active and honest person, and I am sure her blog will help her to success at the next general election.”
