Podcast feedNewscast October 2014
Back after a prolonged summer break, this month’s newscast is a treat for the ears. We bring you incredible poetry from the young people from the New Horizons centre in Chalton Street. In a night organised by new local organisation Youth Sauce, these young people reimagined their own tough stories and fairytales dark and grim set in Somerstown.
Our second story comes from Rochester Square Gardens and the community who have been squatting there for more than a year now. They have wonderful plans for the space and visions of returning it as a natural paradise to the local community, but it is proving a slow process. Listen in to find out more about this alternative group and what they’re trying to achieve.
Lastly, we close with an interview and some music from our newest recruit Melvyn.
Enjoy!

Argy Bargey on London's Canals
Tensions have flared between boaters and homeowners on London’s increasingly crowded canals. The focal point of the argument is in Islington where woodsmoke and late-night engine noise from the canal have been impacting local residents. But the overcrowding and stress on the canals stretches throughout the city and is serious enough to have prompted the London Assembly to launch an investigation. Its remit is to find out more about what problems there are and to suggest ways of solving them.
Freddy Chick checked it out.
