Comment by Colin Cooper on July 24, 2009 at 11:54am: Hi Phil,

The meeting you refer to was an initial meeting we organised to bring together the existing borough-level networks in an effort to develop relations and links between us and share experiences. It is hoped that in the longer term we will look at sharing good practices and helping other borough's develop networks of their own. With the help of Nick and Mark we're going to develop a page on Project Dirt and I'll post up the notes up on here as soon as possible. We are having another meeting on the 16th September in Brent with the Brent Sustainability Forum. More details to follow.

Comment by Phil Green on July 24, 2009 at 9:14am: Hi all, understand there was a 2nd meeting of Linking up London a little while ago. Were there any specific outcomes, or is there any sort of write up anywhere? Any further meetings planned?

Comment by Becky Luff on May 20, 2009 at 3:12pm: Hello,

I was wondering whether any other Linking up London workshops were being arranged, or if the ideas that were discussed have been developed further? I was particuarly interested in the one about designing a council sign up sheet. If anyone is involved in that, please let me know!

Cheers,
Becky

Comment by Mark on March 30, 2009 at 11:06am: Hi Chris - as said, let me know if you want to e-mail the admin project ... as that covers the pd lot fairly well. likewise - a good idea to get this up as an event on the events page.

jess is doing a blog - and we'll point that towards the front page to raise awareness too.

cheers
