Judging community awards
I’ve just finished helping to judge our annual community awards, Pride in our People.
And I must say it’s been an honour – the quality and number of entries has again been excellent.
It’s incredibly humbling to read about all the positive initiatives and the remarkable efforts of individuals, selflessly working to improve our community.
And to all those who say good news does not appear in newspapers, all I can say is I hope you’ve been reading the Pride in our People stories in the Gazette over the last three months.
We’ll let you all know very soon who’s been shortlisted and in line for the awards on June 14.
Many thanks to Mike Tiley, from the Ealing Civic Society and Lynn Grimes from Thames Valley University, who helped both Jane Harrison, our community reporter, and I to judge the entries.
So on that positive note, I’ll say have a good weekend.

I am back!!!! It seems we have both been to conferences recently.....
I have been away in far off Africa giving a presentation to the annual Monkey Conference on life as an urban monkey in West London. Monkies from all over the world converge to chew the fat and hear the latest developments in our world. It was a great honour to give my speech and I took with me several copies of your esteemed newspaper which were received with alot of interest. In fact you have been awarded the top banana prize for making our voice heard in West London.
On a subject to spark some debate I thought the progress of Terminal 5 was coming along nicely, how do we all feel about this expansion and will it bring more jobs and benefits to our community?
