Environmental Fair and local councillors

Once again the Lib Dem councillors were present at the perennial Carshalton Park Environmental Fair that takes place every year on August Bank Holiday Monday. 

The annual environmental fair was started in the early 1990s, and Cllr. Hamish Pollock was one of the very first stall holders to be selling books there along with his wife Josephine and Angela Baughan who later became a long-serving local Lib Dem councillor for the area, 1994-2006.

Local booksellers: Cllrs. Alan Salter and Jill Whitehead

Cllrs. Jill Whitehead and Alan Salter (pictured) are selling books at a huge bookstall at the Fair – a photograph taken by Cllr. Hamish Pollock (not pictured!).  Jill and Hamish also helped on the Friends of Carshalton Park stall in the later afternoon. It was a long, but very pleasant day!

As usual there was something for everyone at the Carshalton Environmental Fair. Lots of children’s activities from facepainting, to craft activities and a pedal powered cycle challenge! Music and entertainment on three different stages to suit different tastes from rock to acoustic folk. Browse through over 100 stalls, craft, local produce. Speakers and info on environmental issues in the Carshalton Community Allotment marquee. Lots of tasty food, a bar and a cafe!

We made a day of it!
