              roadworks by Camden Council left pensioners fuming, and determined 
              to do something about it! </font></p>
            <p><font size="1">79 year-old Peggy Doyle and her friends regularly 
              cross the busy Malden road in Gospel Oak and were dismayed to find 
              that Camden Council had decided to remove the island when they began 
              a series of 'road improvements'. </font></p>
            <p><font size="1">Peggy said "With the island gone, us little old 
              ladies had to cling onto one another to try and cross the road or 
              walk round the long way." </font></p>
            <p><font size="1">After getting angry and persistent complaining, 
              the island was rebuilt and is now affectionally known as Peggy's 
              Island. However, Peggy laughs about this and modestly says that 
              it was not just her efforts. </font></p>
            <p><font size="1">She said "when the island reappeared I was tempted 
              to stand on it and crack open a bottle of pop to christen it properly!"

              involved in their communities has been produced to mark International 
              Women's Day.<br>
              <br>
              The video, titled 'Women Have A Say - Make A Difference', features 
              prominent women in the borough of Camden, including council Leader 
              Jane Roberts, Camden Mayor Judy Pattison, Cllr Geethika Jayatilaka 
              and women community leaders from Chinese, Bengali and Somali communities. 
              <br>
              <br>
              Produced by the council's Equalities Unit and filmed by the Overtones 
              women's video company, the aim of the video is to encourage young 
              and ethnic minority women to get involved in their communities and 
              speak out for what they want. <br>
              <br>
              Last year, the Minister for Women Barbara Roche started a campaign 
              to get more women involved in public life, through community groups, 
              local councils and by becoming school governors or magistrates. 
              Camden's video takes up the issue at a local level. <br>
              <br>
              The five-minute film will be used by each of the borough's secondary 
              schools as part of their citizenship classes and by black and minority 
              ethnic women's groups. </font></p>
