It was an honour to be at our Edith Neville Primary School yesterday morning for the launch of The London Assembly’s report ‘A London for every child: Reversing the city’s declining child population’

The report was written by the cross-party Economy, Culture and Skills Committee led by @hinabokharild and with evidence gathering from fellow architect @dinahbornat and commentary from Edith Neville Headteacher Ruby Nasser, Susie Dye and Katherine Hill.

The report focuses on how we can put children at the heart of what we do from planning strategically, through to design and management of spaces and is central to all level of development in London. I was thrilled that Edith Neville was chosen as the venue for the launch and to give a tour of the school after the delegates including Green Party Leader @greenpartyzack afterwards.
