Credit where it's due: Geoff Juby has put in a lot of work over the years, and far more than anyone else in his party group. We would often walk back part of the way together from meetings at the Civic Centre, and he would tell me what he had been doing. It was a lot! He is very committed. Maureen was really quite a good leader of the then fifteen-strong LibDem group on the council from 2000 to 2003, which was my first term as an elected member, so I came to know of both of them quite well. For me it'll be a case of deja vu from now on(!)
