Power to Which People?
What makes one community more effective than another in being listened to by the people they elected? Chinwe Kalu-Uma looks at the tale of two communities and an incinerator.
What does it take to run an effective local political campaign? Chinwe Kalu-Uma returns to the area where she was brought up, Edmonton in North London, to meet campaigners against plans to expand a local incinerator. These kind of facilities, however necessary, tend to create local opposition. So why is it that some communiities are better organised when it comes to in resisting development? Chinwe meets people involved in other campaigns against incinerators in Cambridgeshire as she sets out to find if there if a right way and a wrong way to exert power, and asks if the political process can become more user friendly.
