We'll be at the @BarnabasYork table-top sale tomorrow morning asking "what makes home, home"? That table around which you gather with family or that bath which soaks away even the day’s worst worries? That front step where you chat with passers-by or that corner shop – let’s chat

@dressrdelivery @YorkCycle @CityofYork @networkrail As far as we know it's very much still in the proposals, but no idea which phase of the delivery (but we can ask).

Does anybody know this bridge is still being replaced, so it's fit for purpose of today's access standards?

A manifesto that puts local economy and community wealth building at the heart of change. What might that look like? @CommunityYoco has a community plan... ...yoco.uk
(CLES) Centre for Local Economic Strategies@CLESthinkdo
Economic change may be dreamt of by aspiring national leaders, but it is delivered at the local level. Ahead of the General Election, CLES is calling for political parties to rediscover the power of place and take six bold actions to harness the power of local to deliver change. 👉 cles.org.uk/publications/o… #changeislocal

@wearenewlocal @peoplesbiz @the_young_fdn @LocalTrust @Plunkett_UK @localitynews @CooperativesUK @TNLComFund @ChrisCowcher @right_hereUK @platformplaces @HighStreetsTF A good read, which flags up that neighbourhoods are about more than homes, and creating local economy (especially around sustainability) brings all sorts of benefits to both existing and new communities. Read about YoCo's aims for just that at yoco.uk

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?
