Sadly, Cllr Barbara Fabian, one of our LibDem councillors from Fortis Green ward (Haringey Council) has just resigned due to ill health. She has had a real struggle with her health for some time and I am so sorry to see her go. She brought such experience and wisdom in her field of children and education and psychology. Whenever she spoke in council it was with substance. I am really sorry that she has had such difficulties.

So – off I go to deliver leaflets. The plus of a by-election (apart from hopefully winning) is losing half a stone in weigh and toning muscles. There is always a silver lining.
