At tonight’s full council I spoke in support of the motion from @DuddridgeLloyd for a Redbridge bookshop! 📖 I highlighted @wansteadbookshp and @WansteadFringe with thanks to @gillis for his work on both 🙏 And hope we can work together to find a venue for a bookshop 🤞

A couple of nights ago at the Wanstead Fringe Festival, I had a Q&A session with the lovely Sabine Rehaber (moderated by a man with one of the most impressive beards that I've ever seen - Giles Wilson). @gillis @wansteadfringe
