We were invited to attend a meeting this week hosted by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister to discuss Meanwhile Uses of land and buildings by communities in the North

This came about after our friend and collaborator Elaine Cresswell from reShaped was invited to present her pitch on the subject at the Northern Futures Summit in November 2014.

Yesterday we went to a meeting involving property developers, landlords, creative businesses, potential funders and creative activists like Elaine and ourselves.

There are some really exciting projects coming out of these conversations about Meanwhile use in the North
