This podcast is about the power and importance of communities. To address the climate emergency, there is an urgent need to cede power to ordinary people so that they can design and deliver the changes necessary in their neighbourhoods. Poverty remains a significant barrier for all governments in achieving net zero. Community-led projects, for example centred on food, can all deliver carbon reductions, while also rewarding people with a lower cost of living, and the experience and confidence to work together for even greater change. ffinlo Costain speaks to James Goodman, Director of Partnerships and Learning for the Local Trust, Bryony Boyle from Selby Big Local, and Chris Blake the catalyst behind Project Skyline in the Brecon Beacons. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/farmgate/message

What can communities do to ensure that they gain from regeneration projects rather than lose out to them? We explore this question in a podcast recorded at the launch event of our research report, Developing Potential. The discussion considers how we can equip communities to get the most out of local development projects, followed by wide-ranging and valuable proposals from the group on what individuals and organisations can do to actively shift the power in-balances that are so often intrinsic to neighbourhood regeneration. This podcast is hosted by Georgie Burr from Local Trust, with contribution from Helen Nicol, co-author of Developing Potential and director of Blue Chula, Chris Brown, CEO of Igloo Regeneration and co-author of Developing Potential and Dadirai Tsopo from Welsh House Farm Big Local, Hero Austin from the People’s Empowerment Alliance for Custom House (PEACH), James Goodman from Local Trust and other attendees of the launch event - thank you to everyone who took part.
In this podcast, we host a round table discussion of David Boyle’s essay ‘Counterweight’, centring around the question at the heart of the essay: how can participative democracy work alongside representative democracy? The group explore the tensions and opportunities of a functioning local democracy and the culture shifts that are required to achieve a healthy power balance between local authorities and communities on a national scale. Also discussed is how residents can confidently find their voice within local democracy and feel empowered as a community to achieve change that lasts beyond the Big Local programme. Chaired by James Goodman from Local Trust with contribution from Jayne Nicholl and Brenda Lines from DY10 Big Local, Noelle Blackman and Michel Siewniak from Wormley and Turnford Big Local, Jess Wenban-Smith from Local Trust, Adam Lent from the New Local Government Network, Jonathan Shaw from Policy Connect, Graham Atkins from The Institute for Government and the author of ‘Counterweight’, David Boyle.

So - when it comes to this episode, we're nearly lost for words. It's engrossing. A deep dive into a sea teeming with life. Clare born fiddle player Tola Custy talks about how Irish music nearly died and how his father and others of his generation saved it. About out of tune whistling, the woman who bossed the Tulla Céilí Band and Radical Comhaltas. Growing up in a house divided - Kevin Burke fans on one side, Frankie Gavin fans on the other. He talks about Asturian fiddle playing and Irish fiddle playing; the James Goodman manuscript collection; the Time (Ireland) Act of 1916. He talks about stage fright and feeding off the energy of other musicians, the different beauty of Micho Russell's playing. He talks about the waltz time in his head, and much else besides. And he plays the folllowing pieces: The Lighthouse and The Mermaid (his own tune) into a Swedish jig followed by a Breton jig So Small The Boat, So Big The Sea (Tola Custy) Time Zone Laneway (Tola Custy) into The Maple Leaf (a reel composed by Darach De Brun for his wedding in 1976) The Yellow Wattle, which Tola learned from the playing of Micho Russell, into Metro-Gnome (his own composition) and finally Love At The Ending. Following the last solo piece, Tola plays a set of tunes with Ado Barker, and they're then joined by Corinn Strating on flute.

Moreton Bay is the natural jewel in Brisbane’s crown but it is under pressure like never before. The population boom in its catchment, climate change and rising sea levels mean it is facing some serious challenges. Tomorrow a new group will bring together researchers, community members, traditional custodians and government representatives to work on the bay’s protection. The Moreton Bay Foundation has been made possible by the Goodman Foundation and director James Goodman tells Mark it is vitally important work. https://moretonbayfoundation.org/

Guests: Kevin Wheeler & James Goodman, City of Columbus Tune in to hear from Kevin and James about the historical side of renovating, the process to preserve it, and what it means to live in one of Columbus's 14 historic districts. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Kevin Wheeler began working for the city of Columbus in 1989 with a background in City Planning at The Ohio State University. He is now a part of the planning division for land and structures throughout Columbus and works to preserve historic districts in Columbus including commercial and residential properties. James Goodman, the Historic Preservation Officer, grew up around older homes working with his grandfather and father. He currently serves 18 historic districts including four well-known Columbus locations: German Village, Italian Village, Victorian Village, and Brewery District. When it comes to preserving history while remodeling these 18 districts, there is a unique balance. Each district currently has a set of their own guidelines with best practices while remodeling and maintaining the integrity of the home. It all begins with a history or map of the proposed district; identifying unique attributes in the architecture, common themes, and other structural guidelines within the district. This task is completed by the residents of the community working together. When an application to create a historic district is submitted to the City of Columbus, a public hearing is held and decides if the districts meet the code. Being a historic district is an added attribute and stability for homes in these locations. City Council then makes a final decision regarding the status of the district. Commissions in historic districts take on the task of approving changes on parcels during a remodel such as room additions or other exterior work that could change the structure or look of the overall home. The commission is made up of people with various skill sets and is appointed by the Mayor. Many homeowners can present an idea or project that is then reviewed by the commission and work alongside them in making sure it fits with the district while still preserving the original craftsmanship.
