“Once Spacehive got involved, it was a brilliant
effort. It gee'd the community up and they
increased their participation when they saw money
coming in on the internet. Everyone was chasing
that target and the whole atmosphere on the estate
changed when they realised it was going to become
a reality. Now the building has started going up and
there's a real buzz.“
