[diggers350] Low Impact Policies for your local authority.

[Gerrard Winstanley]

Hi there,

Id really like a copy of the report if possible?

Im actually concerned with the urban environment (Im a libertarian-communist 
activist based in Reading) but I am currently researching alternative models 
of development to the neo-liberal one and the gentrification that is 
happening to urban and rural working-class areas, particularly trying to 
think about alternatives that are grassroots-led, and benefit the community 
and the environment before private profit.

If you are interested, the reason Im doing this is because we currently run 
a community garden on squatted land in a workingclass area of central 
Reading. The site is council owned derelict land and buildings, and they 
hope to flog it for yet more high-density development of unnafordable luxury 
appartments, but we are trying to pursue a community led alternative to 
this.

Info about our garden can be found here:

So, yeah, if possible, Id be really interested to see the report.

Cheers,
Stu.
