With Sarah Teather getting elected in the Brent East by-election, the people of Hillrise ward face a second council by-election in 5 months.
In May LibDem Paul Fox stood down one year into a four-year term to pursue his own political career and now Ms Teather has followed suit.
I was out yesterday securing the nominations for our candidate Robin Latimer and the campaign starts in earnest this weekend after nominations close on Friday.
People in Hillrise decided last May to kick Labour out after years of complacency. Unfortunately for people who thought they were voting for a change the LibDems have quickly settled into the pattern of putting their own political careers ahead of the interests of the people of Islington.
As Sarah Teather herself has proved, you can come from third place to win if the sitting party is failing and the main oppostion are incapable of providing a viable alternative.
We will be running a strong campaign with the aim of electing Islington's first Green councillor. The people of Hillrise deserve better and only we can offer a genuine alternative.
