Paula Keaveney
Tell us about yourself.
I am a City Councillor and am involved in broader politics too. An active Lib Dem I live in Garston and represent Cressington ward. In my other life I work at Edge Hill University as a Lecturer. I would say what I do in my spare time but I am not sure I have any. Having said that I do love quizzes and was on BBC's Mastermind not too long ago.
What is the blog about?
Its really about politics and more specifically about the political and campaigning things I am involved in in Liverpool and in the ward. I do add in more general political stuff and some personal comment but the main thought in setting it up was to find another way of communicating with local people and getting some feedback.
The most interesting thing that has happened and what is learned.
I've managed to get some feedback from local people that probably wouldn't have happened otherwise and this has actually led to my taking some actions on some problems that were flagged up. I do also get the odd media enquiry as a result of something I have written.
What do you like most about Liverpool?
I think its the scale. You can pretty much walk around and across the City Centre in a way you can't manage somewhere like London. I lived in Edinburgh for a while and this had the same feeling of scale. I love the parks too, and walking by the shore - the Speke/Garston coastal reserve is a good place to go for a walk and a think.
What other Liverpool blogs do you read?
Well I read the other political ones - although there arent that many. I read some of the journalists' ones too like Dale Street Blues.
