...the first thought was sound system in the corner, platform over there, what a great place for a rave.
But it's also got enough passing walking traffic for a cafe or restaurant or something. It's a really great location.
Anyone got any ideas about, or experience with, setting up a worker's co-op and somehow leasing or buying the property? Basically a project to try and create some kind of shelter from capitalism, in the most equal way possible, for a few committed people?
There are so many opportunities for outreach in this location: kids + parents walking to school in the mornings, sports teams, hikers, cyclists, runners, theater types occasionally...
quality post thanks for taking the time. You're absolutely right to say that there could be local rural regeneration funds available. Who get these funds is a whole other story.
