Been out this morning canvassing voters in #Ladywell with the #GreenNewDealRising folks, good to be out in the community spreading a message of hope on this sunny spring day.

Now off to do some #TRE which is my latest effort to address my own underlying tension issues

#WellingboroughEcoGroup Community Allotment

Wellingborough Eco Group have taken on a plot at #Ladywell allotments in #WellingboroughUK, to give people the chance to share skills and to grow plants. The site was cleared and is now a user-friendly space to grow fruit, vegetables and other plants to benefit the community.

Posted on FB, February 25, 2026:

"Good afternoon from our Community Allotment!

A lovely sunny day at our Community Allotment, joined by Eileen, Ian and Jonathan at this Wednesday's Working Party.

Eileen, Jonathan and Ian cut back more budleijas and laid a dead hedge in our nature garden, plus Ian prepared the base for a greenhouse.

But of course there's plenty more to do, do join our community also for more fixing, weeding and tidying next Wednesday (March 4, 2026), 10-2 at Ladywell Allotments. Come and grow with us!"

Family Department sign on the Ladywell Bar on Duke Street in the East End of Glasgow. Dating from a time when women weren't widely welcome in pubs, the Family Department was where they could buy alcohol for comsumption at home.

The Lady Well in the East End of Glasgow. This is the last of the city's ancient holy wells whose origins date back hundreds, and possibly even thousands, of years. It was capped in the 1840s after fears that bodies buried in the nearby Necropolis could contaminate it.

Moving in to London's self-build communityClose

Residents have started moving into London's biggest community-led self-build housing project.

The project in Ladywell, in Lewisham, south-east London, is on the site of ex-council land and took 15 years to build from conception to completion.

A team of self-build managers, an architect and a carpenter offered training to the residents.

All 36 homes are price-capped, and the project was funded using donations, loans and grants from the public and private sector.

A crumbling South London swimming pool abandoned for almost a decade will remain empty for even longer after a developer ran out of money to refurbish it. Ladywell Playtower in Lewisham has been vacant since 2004 when it stopped being used as a community centre.

Last Autumn, Lewisham Council approved plans to turn the Grade-II listed Victorian baths into a four-screen cinema and 33 homes.

Sandwiched between the Glasgow Necropolis and the Tennent's Brewery, the Lady Well is a truly ancient part of the city. One of what was once a series of holy wells in the city, its origins go back hundreds and possibly even thousands of years.
