Shepherd's Bush: The Big Society arrives

The Prime Minister's Big Society policy advisor, Lord Wei, will address the West London Citizens Assembly on how the Big Society idea will affect people in West London. Thursday, 18 November, 7-9.00pm in Hammersmith Town Hall; you can find more information here

It's an interesting concept in this part of the world, as residents groups themselves increasingly come together to raise funds and campaign against their own Council's planning decisions and in some cases force retreats. You could say that's the Big Society in action, but I doubt our local authority will see it quite that way!

  1. And how was it? Poorly advertised in my view!
