Louise Baldock was a Labour Councillor in the city of Liverpool for two terms, 2006 - 2014. This was her award-winning blog, written mainly as a councillor about issues affecting Kensington and Fairfield ward, sometimes as a politician, and sometimes simply personal commentary. Although she thought she might rekindle the blog after May 2015, she has now changed her mind and leaves this as an archive and record.

KVFM 2009 Presentation and Awards
Kensington Vision held the KVFM 2009 presentation and awards at Kensington Fields Community Association again this year. A packed club watched three DVDs which you too can view by clicking on the following links.
The short film of presenters and their jingles
The longer film talking about the project and lots of clips from presenters - part one,
Part one contains tiny snatches of Liam, Wendy and Jane, if you know where to look
part two
Part two contains cameos from lots of our presenters and guests including lots of great kids and young people, Jane Kennedy MP, Phil Redmond, Frank Carlyle, Siddi (the Duke of Kensington), Steve Abrahams the Singing Pharmacist, Steve Rotheram (Lord Mayor of Liverpool), James May, Rt Hon John Prescot MP, Louise Baldock, Laurence Sidorczuk (not quite sure how he snuck in there?) and many others. It closes with the wonderful choir we have been supporting through our Working Neighbourhoods Fund.
Liverpool City Council's Councillor Community Initiative Fund paid for the training of all of the children and young people who took part in radio shows.
Kensington Regeneration did not fund any part of this project.
A tribute to Carl Speare, co-founder of the project who sadly died days before we went on air.
I enjoyed the afternoon hugely, making the tea, until it was time to be called up to receive my certificate as a presenter.
Everyone had a great time, especially after Jane Speare cut the cake and they were queueing round the club to get a piece. (You just gotta love Costco cakes!)
Well done everyone, looking forward to December when we will be back on air during Respect week!

Louise, I didn't "sneak in" on the video. I was invited by Steve to present a Sunday morning programme to talk about my Council work and choose a couple of tracks. We were joined later by Colin Watts [great guy and a much under-rated poet]. It was thoroughly enjoyable and I was asked to give my impression of the experience for the record. Sorry I missed out on the KVFM presentations, though. Well done KVFM - things can only get bigger!
That just proves that KVFM is a public service broadcaster then - politically impartial!
Indeed so, Louise, indeed so.
