Tray and I talk about some of the placemaking ideas that we really don't like.

join us on our high horse whilst we discuss those times when a placemaking idea hasn't worked. Don't worry, we have lots of laughs along the way and also have some great problem-solving suggestions too!

The main take-away from this episode is that doing something new is a risk. But risk taking is a good thing. Trying something new is a good thing. But always, always, always, include the community in big decisions. IGNORE AT YOUR PERIL!!!!!

In this epiusode of Up My Street, we're talking to J-Man and Matt ((who also happens to be our podcast producer) about their community radio station, Micro Brew Radio.

This is the perfect episode for anyone looking to build a community, no matter what it may look (or sound) like. Building creative communities doesnt always mean seeing people face top face. Thats not always possible for a range of reasons. What we love about this story is that it is super inclusive and open to everyone. The Radio Boys, as Tray and I call them, are bursting with ideas, experiences, enthusiasm and laughs. Its a great episode and we're so very lucky to have them on our team.

Enjoy!

Join us for our wonderful chat with Jamie Quince-Starkey discussing Down To Earth in Derby

We cover so many topis in this episode, here are just a few!

Our relationships with our home towns/cities.

Environmental and societal breakdown

Our relationship with nature.

How to reconnect people with nature, without alienating them!

Meeting likeminded people, letting the journey happen.

‘Growing potatoes in a bucket will change your life!’ – Jamie

How walks and allotment meet ups turned into talks, a film and taking over part of the city centre.

Making it simple and empowering, meeting people where they are.

The backstory for DTE – including how they got the backing of the Eden Project.

There is so much positivity and infectious enthusiasm in this episode, I defy anyone to listen and not want to make the world a better place. Even the smallest of actions matter, and they count.

Thank you Jamie, we cannot wait to hear more about the evolution of DTE in the future. Watch this space.
