we had a productive meeting with an @BeFirstLondon on around how can they engage with us much earlier in the process which was fab to hear as 95% of the time Architect's/Developers come to"engage" with us at the 11 hour but by then it is to late to make an impact 1

Thanks to @street_space_ for joining us this morning to discuss The Fiddlers junction in Dagenham. It was great to share our ideas about making an unloved area more attractive, safer and more accessible. We look forward to seeing how things develop.
