For the winter 2005 broadcast, ELFM ran a series of five one-hour programmes entitled Eastern Promise. The programmes were looking at bold attempts to regenerate whole swathes of East and South East Leeds under the EASEL initiative.

EASEL is a 15-year programme of regeneration for East and South East Leeds; a partnership between the Council, Housing ALMOs and the private sector.

Eastern Promise set out to find out more: What was the vision? How did local people feel about it? What would success mean and what difficulties might get thrown up…

You can listen to some clips of the best bits from the series below (titles by the side of the clips give you an idea of the content)
