Just thought I’d mention that if you visit the website of the Newington Green Action Group (of which I am the press officer and webmaster) you can read about a scheme to improve the Green which at long last has been given Council approval and will start going forward towards the end of the year. It isn’t everything we had hoped for but it is a good beginning.20 online advance cash loanpaydayloan cash advance onlinepaydayloan cash advanceadverse only us credit unsecured loansadverse loan unsecuredohio in bankruptcy loans after autoak automobile loanauto al loan Mapsloan aleshaloan services american educationcompany credit adverse loanloan ace paydayloans chance 2nd paydaystudent wachovia acs loanamericash loans100 loans Map

The report I helped produce for the UK’s e-envoy on “E-enabling the Voluntary and Community sector” has been published. (A Guardian article about it and the new Volcom group is here) I hope it helps to spur the Government to provide more support to the voluntary sector and that the sector itself will wake up to the opportunities that the Internet offers…
