The far larger and much less publicised majority came together after the event to fix up and repair their communities. It is important that this community engagement, sense of togetherness and positive determination is nurtured and supported. ‘Create a Council’ is a campaign, encorporating the old rallying cry, ‘Power to the People’, that will empower Londoners through the creation of a network of new local councils.
