Post: RE: Running for local Cllr

I imagine that this would be a costly exercise were you to run as an independent - deposit, promotional materials, time canvassing away from your business etc. But good luck to you, anyway.

The Dartmouth Arms, the Dolphin in Sydenham and the Golden Lion also in Sydenham are all Enterprise pubs, I believe. The Golden Lion is apparently restarting live music in September.
