A great career move for our mayor but it does leave the people of Lewisham in the lurch. The point of an elected mayor was it was a full time executive post.

Should Damien resign and give us the opportunity to have one? It's not as though #Labour could lose here. Be fair to us Damien if you want to be fair to the people of #Bristol.

A eaflet from Lewisham council was the incentive Wendy Lewis needed to take the green plunge. It offered residents the chance to buy solar panels more affordably through a collective scheme, Solar Together.

She paid the £2,000 deposit in November, but four months and three failed installation dates later, she is yet to receive her panels or her requested refund. So, reportedly, are scores of other customers who were matched to GET.
