Several community cafés have opened in Japan over the past decade, planned and managed voluntarily by neighborhood residents. These cafés utilize vacant stores, houses, and community centers. Though small, they play an important role in the community by providing a place for residents to socialize and share information. The document examines the design methods of three exemplar cafés, finding that they emphasize being open daily, allowing solitary visits, treating managers and visitors equally, and evolving organically over time based on community needs. Community cafés aim to reintegrate daily life by providing an inclusive space managed flexibly by residents.

Keeping MK moving…
by car
Milton Keynes is famous for its grid roads, which is
an effective road network throughout the city used
by around 280,000 cars each day.
Motorists can cross from one side of the
City to the other in less than ten minutes.
As Milton Keynes grows and more people take to
the roads, journeys will take longer. Currently,
Milton Keynes Council is planning ways to keep the
road network flowing freely.
Milton Keynes has one of the most
successful car-share schemes in the country.
It has more than a thousand
members. Car-share owners
have access to more than 400
spaces in prime locations and
membership costs as little as
£20 for central Milton Keynes employees.

There are 25,000 parking spaces available
in central Milton Keynes. In the summer the
Council will be consulting on changes to parking
charges.

Keeping MK moving
Over the next 10 years Milton Keynes Council will
invest about £300 million in transport as part of its
plan to keep Milton Keynes Moving – today and
tomorrow. The council is committed to sustainable
transport options, and to finding innovative ways to
improve transport in the city.
Residents were recently asked to vote for their
priorities for the council from 2009-2011.
Residents told us their top priority for
transport was pot-hole repair.
Milton Keynes Council repairs dangerous pot-holes
within 24 hours of being notified. There are
currently five gangs working on repairing the
backlog of potholes caused by the severe weather in
January and February. This work is expected to be
completed in July 2009.

First time under fire
in Afghanistan
A young Territorial’s baptism, 2007…
‘The most memorable moment for me was the time when we were first
fired upon by the enemy.
We were patrolling along a canal in northern Lashkar Gah, which is a
town about half way down Helmand Province. We got ambushed from
the other side of the canal by Taliban forces. They were firing small
arms, RPGs, perhaps some mortars.
To begin with, I personally thought it was strange, not thinking that it could be
happening to me, but of course it was. Everyone responded well to it and returned fire.
Several enemy were killed during the incident and as we withdrew we lost two vehicles
which we left burning.
It was only 40 minutes but it seemed to last forever… It was the biggest adrenalin rush
I’ve ever had. I was both terrified and excited at the same time and nothing in the world
can compare to that at all. It was quite a defining
moment in my life really.’

‘There was a Wolverton
Works Battalion’
Dad’s Army helps on the Home Front 1939 – 45…
‘My Dad was in the Home Guard until he got invalided out. He’d got knocked
about a bit as a Prisoner of War in the First World War - he lost the lining of his
stomach and had to be very careful what he ate. Then he’d have bouts of
Malaria and that was frightening... There was a Wolverton Works Battalion and
one night a week some of the Home Guard and the Battalion would do night-
guard in the Works - from 7 at night until 7 the next morning. They had half-an-
hour’s grace to go home, have breakfast, shave, change into their working
clothes - and do a day’s work.’
