Not active on Twitter for now but you can find me on LinkedIn.

If you are still active on Twitter, why? I’ve made the move to Linked-In reluctantly. But it has surpassed my expectations - lots of politics but respectful, intelligent with an owner backing Kamala not spreading hate.

20 years ago a New Local legend was born, when a young @Vek_B took his first steps into the local gov think tank world. He's since grown into the master behind our branding & design, & one of the nicest friends/ colleagues you'd hope to meet. Happy anniversary Viv! 🎉🤸♂️🎸

Some News: I’m leaving New Local in May to join the King’s Fund. I have absolutely loved working for New Local but now feels like a good time to move on after 7 1/2 yrs. With a talented team and fantastic Chair in place, I know New Local will thrive.
