About Me

Hello

I am a long-time local resident - I work for a not for profit community agency in North London.

I joined the site as I am committed to improving my community through volunteering, campaigning and helping out where I can.

I am a former Labour Party activist and lapsed Labour party member now a non-aligned socialist and active member of my Trade Union happily pricking the bubble of pomposity whenever I come across it.

"Holly I fear you may be right - I think I can detect a bandwagon being jumped upon here ... and it is being done to support a very narrow party political interest in advance of next spring's local council elections. It is only possible to sign…"

John Mellor replied to TomJH's discussion Traveler Camp on Bowes Road

John Mellor replied to Daniel Cowan's discussion Stopping Proposed Tarmac Pavements

"This really seems to be an attempt at a short-term cash saving measure. But just because it may be cheaper to simply tarmac an area than lay traditional paving slabs it is not saving my council tax money. With a shorter life-span Tarmac will only…"

John Mellor replied to Lucy Whitehead's discussion Myddleton Rd Market leaflets

"I agree with others, the Bounds Green Market promised a lot when it first started - but it feels less impressive now. I don't think the description of "Farmers Market" is correct. It seems to be mainly street food, whereas I would…"
