One of the most ambitious examples of [The Power to Convene](https://archive25.transitionnetwork.org/blogs/rob-hopkins/2015-01/how-power-convene-can-transform-transition?ref=news.transitionnetwork.org) to come through a Transition initiative is [Atmos Totnes](http://atmostotnes.org/?ref=news.transitionnetwork.org) in Devon, England. It has brought together the site’s owner Dairy Crest, a mainstream developer and a community, to plan the future of the former manufacturing site. Its recent community consultation reached over 2,200 people, and the next stage of consultation [starts again soon](http://atmostotnes.org/your-feedback-is-needed-at-atmos-totnes/?ref=news.transitionnetwork.org). The project is being driven forward by Totnes Community Development Society, formed by members of [Transition Town Totnes](http://www.transitiontowntotnes.org/?ref=news.transitionnetwork.org), Totnes Community Development Society and others. Atmos Totnes have just put out this video, which tells the story so far, and offers a powerful taste of how The Power to Convene can feel when it goes well.
