Recent Paul Foot Award nominee Andrew Gilligan has been signed up with local community news site Greenwich.co.uk to pen a weekly column for the site.

‘Gilligan’s Greenwich’, which is published every Tuesday, has already attacked Transport For London’s plans in the borough and the development, or lack of, of the old Greenwich hospital site.

The site is published by Uretopia, which also runs newmalden.co.uk and aboutmayfair.co.uk as part of its hyperlocal news network.

Plans for new site launches are schedule for 2009, a press release from Uretopia said.
