to get some land in Ordsall for their community project to set up some
local allotments.This show was a pilot for the VESPR radio project,
showing how with only a couple of hundred quid you can get a mobile
radio set up which will work to record out and about in the community
and then put online.

"The government are encouraging people to grow they're own stuff, but they aren't making it possible."

"The people over the road were putting paving stones instead of gardens."

"The grasscutters came along, and chopped everything down."

I must have an anal retentive memory but the previous day I noticed
that there was a large box containing potatoes, each bag costing 78p.
Today’s price was £1.50 per bag!

By helping is given back to you by others helping you
To do the jobs you can’t manage yourself,
