New Councillors - 1 comment

I discovered a bumper crop of new Labour councillors at ReadMyDay last night. Although some have kept up their blogs, others - though seemingly optimistic - have not. Clearly there has been some coaching, but I suspect that - without the support, the feedback, and the encouraging traffic - they've found the technology too complicated, felt isolated, or just felt blogging didn't make a difference.

And it is a shame that, for so long, we haven't known about them, and they (I guess) haven't known about us. Anyway, perhaps we can drive some traffic their way, and - if there are other councillors reading - people can get in touch with them to offer some advice and encouragement:

• Pauline Carlile - Councillor for Brumby ward, North Lincolnshire
• John Collinson - Councillor for Ashby ward, North Lincolnshire
• Nicholas Dakin - Councillor for Kingsway with Lincoln Gardens, North Lincolnshire
• Doreen Davies - Councillor for Selby South, Selby District Council
• Andrea Davison - Councillor for Ashby ward, North Lincolnshire
• Dick Fordham - Councillor for Frodingham ward, North Lincolnshire
• Sheila Griffin - Councillor for Norbiton ward, Kingston Borough Council
• Mark A Kirk - Councillor for Crosby and Park, North Lincolnshire
• Christine O'Sullivan - Councillor for Crosby and Park, North Lincolnshire
• Paul Shotton - Councillor for Fenton Ward in the City of Stoke on Trent.
• Steve Swift - Councillor for Bottesford, North Lincolnshire

Also, new on the Labour blog site is Maryam Khan- "one of the new councillors on Manchester City Council. She's 24, female, Muslim, and she beat the sitting Lib Dem with a huge 22 per cent swing in May".
