Ibra restoring an unloved park
Ibra restoring an unloved park
So my hopeful story is someone called Ibre who lives in a community called Bradford marches in Bradford where there was a very underused Park that had been the centre of quite a lot of violence. Ibre was diagnosed with cancer and basically had quite a bit of time on his hands so whilst he was in recovery, he decided to take on this little park as his mission without any permission from the council on the basis that no one cared for the land. One of the first things he did was to buy a chicken coop as something to engage young children but also the older people in the community who now come and feed the chickens. So there's this chicken coop and then he developed this park into a kind of peacock farm. So they're now breeding peacocks roaming around.
