REACT And Be Noticed

In this Podcast we interview Cellina Memola Daswell of REACT in Edmonton.

REACT is a community group that has grown to over 3,000 households and started originally as a neighbourhood watch scheme.

It has now expanded and represents a community that is in a deprived area of the Borough in Enfield, marginalised economically and suffering multi deprivation.

It is faced with a major development of their doorstep Meridian Water but are fearful that the homes developed there will be too expensive for the long standing local community. They also face the prospect of a new Incinerator on their patch and fear for the pollution it will cause and its adverse impact on climate change.

It is an interesting case study of a vibrant community that is organising itself to ensure it is not the forgotten part of Borough it which not is placed.
