Success -Communities that Work project raised from the dead like Lazarus!

This week (1st Dec) marks the start of the 8th month since we were able to save the Communities that Work project from closure on 31st March 2008.

Parliamentary Debates and Santa!

Recently a debate was held in Parliament on the threat to Britain's inland waterways posed by Government funding cutbacks. I took part in the debate so that I could highlight the fantastic job that has been achieved by local volunteers in Chesterfield. They have turned Chesterfield Canal from a stagnant ditch in 1979 (when I first lived at Tapton), into the thriving canal of today with working narrow boat and well used by walkers, cyclists, fishermen and birdwatchers. A linear green lung as I described it in Parliament.
