This was the first of a series of planning meeting for my second initiative as Mayor - Croydon Connected.

The idea I wanted to pitch to the Director for Children was that we would write to all of the schools in the Borough and invite them to get their young people to make one link each of a giant paper chain. These would then be joined together to make one long one. It would then be displayed (ideally linking around the whole of the Town Hall). It would then be donated to the library archives as Croydon's children's memorial to the pandemic.

She was very supportive of the idea and agreed to write to the schools promoting the idea.
