Boo hiss! #Libraries should have more funding and support, not get closed down!

'A #library is more than a place with books, it is a lifeline'

Stephen Menon & Laurence CawleyBBC Investigations, London, 18 March 2025

"The UK is losing libraries at a rate of about 40 each year, BBC research has found. According to those who depend on them, local libraries are far more than a repository of books - they are community focal points and, for some, a vital lifeline to the outside world. What happens when one closes?"

ZOLLO – Bremerhaven

Once known as the Zollinlandstadion, this site has transformed from a football ground into an open neighborhood space in the heart of Bremerhaven. Today, ZOLLO is a community-driven cultural and social project — a place for gardens, gatherings, workshops and everyday encounters.

Where crowds once watched matches, young trees now grow, paths curve through open grass, and shared garden structures shape the landscape. The former stadium has become a living example of urban transformation — from sports arena to participatory space for the district. // #Bremerhaven #ZOLLO #Zollinlandstadion #UrbanTransformation #CommunitySpace #Stadtentwicklung #PublicSpace #UrbanGarden #NeighborhoodProject #Norddeutschland #Zolli
