Congratulations Lord Palmer

Congratulations are in order for one of our neighbouring councillors, Monroe Palmer, is being made a Life Peer.  Monroe represents the Child's Hill ward of Barnet.

The Ham and High have the story here.

Monroe is a popular, hard working councillor who has achieved a lot for his area over the years, despite the political wind on the council rarely being behind his back.

In understand  he is looking forward to contributing to debates in the Lords, but also voting to make the second  chamber democratic under Nick Clegg's plans to bring democracy to the mother of parliaments!

Very many congratulations, Monroe! It's a boon that your friendly and warm manner will now be put to use influencing their Lordships to more liberal and democratic ways.
