I hope you have enjoyed my 7 day blog on the Communities in Control White Paper. It’s been a really good experience doing this and I appreciate all the time you’ve spent commenting on the site.
I wanted to tell you about an event I attended last week where I saw for myself a powerful example of a community working together to deliver something special. It was the Hermitage Riverside Memorial Garden in Wapping - a statue and garden to commemorate the people injured or killed in the Blitz on the East End. A community campaign came together and worked through all the obstacles, and has created a fantastic legacy for future generations. It shows the importance of 'people power'.

As some of you may have seen, I have decided to extend my foray into twittering and I’d like to do the same with my blog. I’ll be widening the topics I blog about and will continue to update it in the coming weeks - so keep your eyes peeled for updates on my recess adventures!
In addition, I will also be writing a weekly blog on the http://www.totalpolitics.com site.
Finally, we will continue to make more video clips available over the next few days so keep your eye on the site for the latest updates.
