I met Linda as well as Anita; Anita and Linda had met and discussed the Southwater Area Streetbank Depot in St Leonards, East Sussex. They are now good friends and Linda is helping Anita with her garden.
Since renting an office at the Southwater Area Community Centre, these are the 4 people who've had a conversation with me about what they want
1) Linda wanted an allotment but couldn't find where they were. My sister gave her directions and she's pleased she got an allotment there.
2) A couple on Southwater road wanted it to be quieter at nights; this is something that it will be harder to sort, but we can work on that if more people want to.
3) Anita wanted a spade; I found one on www.streetbank.com but I haven't seen Anita since. You too can lend or borrow things and you don't need to use the web. Write adverts on postcards for me to put in the Southwater Centre windows
4) Kev wanted a (legal) way for local people to get more things without money; a local currency really run by local people trading their skills etc. We're working on that one.
So what do you want around here?
