I've just been informed that we've received funding to do a project along Union Road (Oswaldtwistle Players and Mid Pennine Arts). It will basically be a photography project documenting the local shops and talking to the shop keepers. Before you all shout up, yes, it's lottery money, and yes, there are better things that this money could be spent on but - the money is up for grabs and unless people apply for it it will just remain in the pot.

Have to admit that in some respects I can't defend this project other than we wanted to do it, it sounds interesting, we applied for money and we got it. We're hoping that it will be an interesting look at local shops and regeneration in the area but if nothing else it will be a record of shop life in 2006.

There will also be an exhibition of the photos and a new drama piece coming out of it.
