Excellent news that our former chair @MarvinJRees is to join the House of Lords. Marvin is a fantastic advocate for cities and city leadership and we're sure he'll make some valuable contributions on the role of the local in national policy. Congratulations Marvin!

Less of a #fridayread, more of a #fridaywatch. An insight into an urban childhood in East London in 1980 courtesy of @BBCArchive - reminds us how far we've come, but there's still lots to do! May be of interest to our friends @londoncouncils
