We are 1

On March 30th this news and blog section of my website had its first birthday.

Since then, 239 stories have been added and the website itself has grown from being a complement to my campaign to win selection by local Labour members as Parliamentary candidate for Putney to incorporate much more content - from surveys, quizzes and petitions, information from around the constituency and about me and a far wider range of news stories.

The growth in this site continues to be reflected in the numbers of you visiting the site: In March another record was set with 2,597 unique visitors - that's an increase on February of 506. Compare that also to the first set of stats we collected, six months ago in October 2007 when we had just 575 different visitors.

Again, thank you very much for your interest - it's appreciated and shows that nowadays the internet is absolutely critical in reaching constituents who "traditional" forms of communication, like newsletters and leaflets simply don't receive or read.

I keep an eye out for new ideas to keep improving the site: the next overhaul will take place over the Summer, so if you have any suggestions, please email me.
