Well the ground breaking ceremony for the new school building at Crouch Hill Park happened today. Jeremy Corbin MP who was supposed to be there had to give his apologies as he explained that the whips have allowed him on to a select committee for the first time in 25 years (Justice) and so he felt he could not miss his first meeting. So the honors were done instead by Councillor Phil Kelly, the current Mayor of Islington, (who looked resplendent in chain and ceremonial robes) Catherine West, the leader of Islington Council and err me. Its the first time I have ever used a special shovel for a symbolic tree planting act. A new experience! Then after a tour of bits of the site and meeting some old friends we had coffee and sandwiches. And over coffee and sandwiches I found out:- That Islington Council are working on developing a social media strategy That Wilmott Dixon, the contractors are ALSO developing a social media startegy and have started a facebook page related to the project. Great interest in using Twitter. So my plan to bring together a group to see how we can use social media as part of the development of the project was well received. So now I need to get going and actually assemble the group.
