Welcome, Geraldine

Here's a glimmer of good news for the William Morris Gallery and Vestry House Museum: Councillor Naz Sarkar - the Philistine who stirred up a furore over his proposed cuts - has lost responsibility for Leisure, Arts and Culture! So much for a clueless clot who cares nothing for English heritage, culture or arts. He is replaced by Councillor Geraldine Reardon, whom we believe to be a more cultured person. (Maybe it's just the spectacles). She is one of two Labour councillors elected to the William Morris Ward, so she should appreciate the value of the Gallery to Waltham Forest, to Britain and to the World. Time will tell....
