I'm really interested to. Especially after following the other threads about the white stuff and the like. It sounds like beth knows so much about it. Is this something we could all too easily let us pass by when we really could do something worth while as a community in ED. There is a lot of talk about the changes in ED and if they are for the better or not. Perhaps we should stop procrastinating and do something surley a communtiy lead initative is the most posive thing we could do and stop a slip into LL becoming another once was good and now is full of the normall annomonous high street chains. (I still havent gone into Nero and it saddenes me that only a company with that kind of money can afford the rates, imagin how great that space would be if it was an independant coffee shop. There is obviously a niche, yet all that money is flowing back into a corpate company nothing back into our community.

We could have a real lounge, a real music room ect they are great concepts and dont just have to be virtual.

Any way are there enough people interested at least to properly get together and discuss this or is this going to become a forgotten thread?

I would go along to something and give my time and support around the fundraising and setting up the trust but with a toddler in tow, I don't have the energy to be the leader or co-ordinator to get it together!


It does really need a couple of energentic people with the time and energy to get it going. Also Keef and others, bear in mind that setting up a development trust isn't going to generate money for individuals - all money raised and profit gained will go back into the trust so the board running it would have to be prepared to be volunteers and not make a dime from the project themselves!

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
