ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ HEREFORD & WORCESTER


ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ raises Voices in Luston


An ambitious new ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ project is about to give a radio voice to the local community of Luston in Herefordshire.


From Friday 4 April, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Hereford & Worcester will spend three months broadcasting from Luston as part of Voices - a national ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ venture that sees ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ staff working closely with local people giving them an opportunity to tell their own stories.


Voices in Luston focuses on the New Travellers Site with the aim of creating a sustainable, safe and educational play space for the families living there and a building made of recycled and organic materials, complete with wildlife garden and natural play structures.


Voices will link up with Herefordshire Council, Herefordshire Nature Trust, British Conservation Trust Volunteers, a local architect, a community artist and businesses to achieve their goals.


ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Hereford & Worcester launches The House That Voices Built during the Breakfast programme on Friday 4 April.


The grand finale to these activities is a week of intensive broadcasting on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Hereford & Worcester in May, culminating in a celebratory outside broadcast in Luston.


Kirstie Lee, Voices producer, says: "Voices in Luston truly is an exciting and innovative project. The people living on the site will provide the labour - but the advice, expertise and construction materials will be donated, proving that we really can all work together.


"The enthusiasm already being shown is fantastic. In the next three months we'll hear from the people living on the site, share their ups and downs, find out what's important to them, see their art and hear their music. I can't wait to get started!"

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Hereford & Worcester broadcasts on 94.7 in Herefordshire, and 104 and 104.6FM in Worcestershire.
