Monthly Table Top Sale & Ward Councillors Surgeries
@CommunityYoco #YorkCentral
I'll be at the table-top sale at @BarnabasYork on Saturday, 9:00-12:00 - come and chat with @CommunityYoco about local good stuff that slips beneath the radar, what you'd like to be able to walk or wheel to & how we might include it in community-led development on #YorkCentral

Prepping this has certainly made me think, not least about how o make a dream come true, Listening & learning from those who have gone before seems to be a top tip - what do you think?
Along the way to creating a community-led, mixed-use neighbourhood within the York Central development, we're running a workshop which asks what drives us
to community action? What's our individual fuel? There's a blog at yoco.uk/blog/what-makes-us-d…

"I believe that we as a society will all be better off if more of our assets are owned by the community. Selling this house to the CLT is one small step in that direction that was within my power to take." Affordable, rented, energy efficient, community owned & coming to Hebden.

Fifty years ago, William Whyte studied how New Yorkers schmoozed, sat, and relaxed the small open spaces available to them. This 1980 treasure was the result.
Join me as I share a few timeless lessons. 🧵

What will the world want from a cultural venue in a climate crisis?

A final postcard from your YoCo correspondent's @FuturebuildNow travels - closing in on King's Cross & the train north. London buskers are pretty hardcore - this lot was blasting it out a few inches away from passing buses on Euston Road
