I am convinced that the Internet is a great tool to spread local democracy and free views. By publishing and commenting all local information we may find related to Clapham Junction, that’s what we are trying to encourage here.

I am used to follow a few sites to be informed on activities of Wandsworth Council, and Wandsworth borough and a few weeks ago I discovered that a few more Councillors have decided to publish their views on blogs (and it makes a very interesting reading). Below is a list of what I gathered (feel free to add other interesting sites in comments).

Councillors:

• Cllr James Cousins – Shaftesbury Ward (oldest blog I know, since Nov 2008!)
• Cllr Tony Belton – Latchmere Ward (since Oct 2011 – Welcome!)
• Cllr Simon Hogg- Latchmere Ward (since Sept 2011 – Welcome!)

Amenities Societies and groups:

• Wandsworth Society
• Battersea Society
• Putney Society
• Wandsworth Living Streets
• Love Battersea

Council:

I’ve just found it today, but I am very pleased to discover that debates in the Wandsworth Council are published in videos:

• Wandsworth Council Channel
