Hi Peter,

I met with Councillor Drage last week about a project I'm currently running for the Council in Hackbridge. He recommended my contacting you. My apologies for coming in through this route but the Council couldn't find an email address for you.

My email is hugh.flouch@networkedneighbourhoods.com.

I wonder if it's possible for you to let me have some contact details so I can explain what I'm doing and why Cllr Drage recommended my contacting you.

Best regards,

Hugh
