We attended Activate '09 a few months back and listened to this fascinating talk by William Perrin from http://www.kingscrossenvironment.com/

Its a great, innovative community engagement site based in the King's Cross area of London with the main aim of neighbourhood improvement. Will is interested in Hyperlocal media, the current buzz word for that which Swindon Viewpoint was formed to achieve all those years ago! Its great to see people still working towards this and to hear Will's inspirational accounts.
