Is this Big Society?
| Posted on March 5, 2011 at 4:48 PM |
Could this be what David Cameron envisages when he talks about Big Society? Faced with no water in a closed graveyard and no clear responsibility the Castle Bromwich Community Project set about solving the problem itself. With the collaboration of Castle Bromwich & District Lions, local resident Jerry Gray and British Waterways members of the Castle Bromwich Community Project restored the water supply so that elderly residents would no longer need to lug water from their homes to the graveyard.
The graveyard is the final resting place of Alderman Thomas Clayton one of the founding members of Fellows, Moreton and Clayton canal carriers and boat builders. It's therefore somewhat fitting that British Waterways donated the water bollard which the project and its supporters fitted. Click on the link below to see the work that went into the restoration:
