Gutted not to be there. Poorly 4yo prevented it - glad it was a good day

not so different to hear (in terms of how it works) just hoping for less hate posts popping up (which seems to be most of them on here sadly)
@annafrancisart If I can work out how it works. But inevitable in the end.

What if the climate transition and retrofit of our homes and streets were designed, owned and governed by the people who live there? Let us see the challenge, and be great enough to rise to it courageously, boldly and tangibly together in the here and now: https://t.co/Dvkkc1tQuw

I did ask a staff member if we could play sardines before we left but she politely said no! Great experience and a great opportunity to share the incredible work in our city but i did reiterate investment is needed!
