Knutton memories (07)

Melissa Lockett, Tanya Heath, and Chris Oldfield, in August 2007
Region: Knutton

Youngsters took part in a four-week project to record Knutton and Cross Heath ahead of regeneration work by RENEW North Staffordshire. The children involved, from the Wilmot Drive estate, won the funding themselves for the project called Changing Lives. They have been taking pictures and recording their own memories of the estates as they are now so that in the future they have a record of where they came from. Our picture, taken in August 2007, shows, from left, Melissa Lockett, aged 14, Tanya Heath, aged 13, and Chris Oldfield, aged 12.

I want to see the residents of this area having a voice and RENEW to take account of their views.

It looks absolutely brilliant, as good as a new house! It makes me feel proud to live here.
