Baroness Newlove – Ten communities to tackle binge and underage drinking unveiled
I like a drink. This news release from the CLG website suggests I will have to watch my step in Lincoln from now on. It tells us that :
The 10 successful projects range from county-wide and whole cities programmes, to projects targeting specific neighbourhoods. Each successful bid clearly identified their local problems and outlined how innovative community-based approaches would deal with them. They also had to demonstrate how their projects would be sustainable beyond the two years of the programame.
The areas are: Bury, Greater Manchester , Chelmsford, Essex , Cornwall , County Durham , Lincoln, , Maidstone, Kent, Moseley, Birmingham, Newcastle, Shropshire , Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
It is good to see that a number of rural places are involved in these pilots and it will be interesting to see if they achieve what they have set out to.
