IN this exceptionally cold and damp approach to winter, we've nearly reached the shortest day of the year and it is pretty depressing that it's getting dark by about 4pm.

But as I cycle around my ward I've been cheered by our modest and extremely jolly street lights along Kentish Town High Street. I find them uplifting and they make me smile.

Kentish Town is a great place to live, though we envy you folks on the hill your better air quality! Happy Christmas!
