On the evening of 29 July more than 80 people attended at Room 8 Lambeth Town Hall to discuss the White Paper.
Discussion was lively with numerous contributions from Lambeth residents, the majority of whom are actively involved in Third Sector enterprises in the borough, and, personally, I can honestly say that it was the most interesting meeting that I have attended in Lambeth in the past 5 years. We probably have a greater diversity of race and class, and our residents have a wealth of talent and experience, which is almost certainly unequalled in any other borough - although this is not always evident to those who attend its public meetings! However, immediately the discussion was thrown open to the floor speakers came out with an amazing variety of interesting ideas on how services might be more sensitively and effectively delivered.
Those attending were promised that full notes of the meeting will shortly be published on the internet, and, in due course, I shall be adding a link to the notes on this blog.
