[cma-l] Community Radio mentioned in House of Commons debate

[CMA-L]

Yesterday in Parliament, Christine Russell (Labour, City of Chester) in
the Third Sector Review debate:

> In the Lache estate in my constituency, 20 volunteers, who are all local residents, sit on the neighbourhood management board. They are actively involved in making all the decisions about allocating the £1.8 million of Government funding. They have established a youth forum to ensure that young people's concerns are heard and acted on. The volunteers are also turning a disused piece of land into a community allotment and running a fruit and veg co-op. One of their most exciting activities is being trained by one or two professionals to run a community radio station. That will not only showcase all the individual talent on the estate but provide information for everyone who lives there.
