show workshops will be held this Saturday at Wormwood Scrubs, moderated by AJ editor Paul Finch.
This is the first of nine such workshops to be held in Hammersmith and Fulham, which is the first of four London boroughs participating in the scheme. Councillor Sally Powell of Hammersmith & Fulham Council, speaking at the launch, said, 'We didn't want to raise expectations without the reality of achieving something. Resources back each of these initiatives - they will become a reality.'
The funding, she said, came from a variety of sources - Single Regeneration Budget, Section 106 agreements and the council's own resources. It was the fact that they had money available that caused the council to choose these sites from a much longer list of potential ones.
