We have learned from ‘lockdown‘ how we can re-focus on the essentials. We can change our habits and re-balance our lifestyles. But can we learn how to ‘save the night’?

Join @Donslater00 for this upcoming webinar on public lighting along the Thames

[LSE Sociology @LSEsociology]

How can we create a more coherent night-time experience of London - one that reinforces social and cultural values and, crucially, is kinder to the environment?

Next week @Donslater00 will take part in a webinar on public lighting along the Thames 👇

Needing articulate people to rant on my behalf this morning.

[Femi @Femi_sorry]

I'm trying to organise building a statue of Jimmy Saville outside Birmingham Children's Hospital because his contribution to kids' entertainment is an important part of our history, and without a statue we'd forget the great things he did.

Let me know if you're willing to help.
