Video, stream

Nick Booth over on Podnosh has done a set of short videos about neighbourhood action in various urban areas, for a recent international conference.

I liked this story of how residents in Bordesley Green, Birmingham, dealt with a stinking stream running through their neighbourhood. It turned out that some dubious plumbers working on housing extensions had been connecting the sewerage into the surface water drainage. Reps from the Neighbourhood Forum went with the water company to explain the issues to the homeowners, and got it sorted.
