Friendly Neighbours Guest Edit

Four friends from Bristol ask how we can build housing in a way that puts community first

Back in March, to mark 20 years of the Today guest editors we gave people the chance to apply in teams to make a programme with us.

Thousands of you applied and every Saturday through August we’ll be featuring programmes guest edited by those successful teams of listeners.

Today it was the turn of β€˜Friendly Neighbours’. Sudi, Mike, Pol and Sophie are four friends and neighbours from the Kingsdown area of Bristol.

At the heart of their community is the Dove Street Estate, a modernist high rise development built in the 1960s.

They want to look at how we make sure that, when we are planning housing developments, we really think about the people and communities who will live there.
