The return of Eastern Promise.
Since 2005, ELFM have been tracking the EASEL programme - the massive regeneration initiative for East And South East Leeds. Well the Eastern Promise team of Jonathan Lindh, Eddy Walker and Adrian Sinclair are back to find out where the EASEL has got to.
On the programme are Maggie Gjessing (Regeneration Manager) and Peter Anderson Beck (Head of the Easel Project) - hopefully with news that, at long last, something is happening on the ground.
As the project swings into another round of consultation (this time as part of the neighbourhood planning process in Seacroft and Halton Moor), we also talk with Katie Hill from DesignLeeds - the School of Architecture, Landscape and Design at Leeds Metropolitan University - and Mike Dando from Yorkshire Planning Aid. What does all this consultation achieve - a real sense of community involvement or just a chance for a good whinge?
