People's power

I went to a public meeting a few days ago to take shots for the next edition of the Neighbors' paper.  Ealing residents have already been trying for 2 years to get the Council to agree to set up an Arts Centre in the underused Ealing town hall. The purpose of the public meeting was to debate this plan between the Ealing residents, the councillors, and the Regeneration Officer. 

The meeting took more than 2 hours and lots of questions, opinions, and queries remained unfinished.   

While taking photos, I really felt the residents' burst of energy.  If people have something that they really want to convey to other people, no matter what kind of words they use, the real feeling will be conveyed to us. 

There are lots of things to be solved, but I can't wait for the day when this proposal becomes real.
