Advent of Bloggers: Day 20

Space For Gosforth is an activist group for a suburb of Newcastle that uses blogging to argue for improvements to the area. It’s a conversation they have with the council in public and they aim to “show the thing” where they can. They mix positive and critical suggestions and feedback. It’s not a blog that has any relevance outside of a few square miles, but that was always the promise of the internet; a bit for all of us.

• Whatever the local relevant blog is for your area. Not got one? You could start it.
