Meadows Festival
WCCA took up this opportunity to promote Causey2 to a wider public. Ben, Kate, Alison, Isobel and Bob had a very productive time talking to Meadows Festival go-ers and listening to their ideas about The Causey, about public space and how people’s needs can be prioritised in the city. Our display banners, describing the past, present and future of The Causey attracted much attention. Over 40 people signed up to be kept informed of WCCA’s progress, some with offers of direct support. Thank you to all of you who did this and for the encouragement it gave us.
