Streets Ahead "Big Society" Video Project
The community working together for a nicer, greener safer place to live |
100 years ago the Knowle Park area of South Keighley was at the heart of the textiles industry. With the decline of the local mills the area lost jobs and its local identity. The local community has been working together to reduce the impact of high unemployment, poor health and bad housing. This video records the projects which are turing ideas into action to make the area a nicer greener & safer palace to live |
With the help of both young and old film maker David Halsall recorded over the summer of 2009 many of the "big society" community projects in the Knowle Park area. The Lund Park Group tells of their work to get all parts of the community to enjoy living and working together. Also featured are the people who live in the area telling how despite a history of drugs and unemployment the area is safe and a happy place to live. Also featured are Holycroft School, Groundwork, Bangladeshi Community Association (BCA) and the Selborne Grove Allotment Association. |
