Approved 623 requests to join but rejected 394 peoples requests to join (mostly people I believe to be commercial posters or the same person / group of people trying to access using different fake accounts or not in E14 or linked to E14 area)

1,511 posts in 28 days
13,166 comments "
40,911 reactions "
despite the name it now covers E14 postcode
It is public, so can view it without being a member but can only post / comment if a member

It is roughly 3 times as big as @TowerHamletsNow Facebook page
And as a reminder roughly 3 times as many people use Facebook as use Twitter which is why I focus more on FB
But @MPSTowerHam do not use Facebook which I find odd, have to do copy & paste missing people tweets

But larger reach of Facebook v Twitter (male/female ratio better on FB) means it is a superior way to engage with people which is why I set the group up in summer 2014
Have a look
