I still remember some mug pushing a bike around Accrington advertising "Hyndburn Life" website which had less members than fingers on my hands

there is funding available from several sources including lottery funding, for such ventures as it benefits target groups and rebuilds communities. there is a lot of interest in community radio and media projects. and as i say this is still in the ideas stage however i do have several media and community engagement contacts who have already pledged their assistance with a project such as this. as for advertising it well how did the bee do it or 2br (originally an offshoot of burnley hospital radio) the power of the people is a wonderful thing
