This week has flown by, but felt productive. Lots of getting things in order so we’re ready for work that’s kicking off in Autumn.

A short and hot week after a few days out of office at Bloodstock Festival in Derbyshire. A fun but knackering weekend of metal.

@da.vebrig.gs Luton seem to be doing a lot of working in the open at the moment, any insights from there?

James Green @jamesgreen.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Encouraging people to write blogs: essexdigitalservice.blog.essex.gov.uk Supporting people to share work at conferences like SDinGov. I believe there's a plan to make our digital roadmap public soon.

Since then, we went through a restructure and were merged with teams who were / are a bit more resistant to working in the open. But the push from current leadership is for more working in the open, not less and Local Gov Reform coming soon helps to argue we need to share as much as possible

James Green @jamesgreen.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

Happy to help if I can! In terms of permission, when I joined Essex County Council in 2021 I think the push for working in the open had already happened. I remember @benunsworth.co.uk saying it was fine to share public Weeknotes as long as you didn't end up in any tabloids 😅

Feels like a lot has happened this week, although less hands on content design and more interesting high level discussions and planning.
