Rimrose Valley means so much to so many people of all ages. In a fascinating departure from our investigative episodes of the We Said No podcast series, we’ll talk to people who have a wealth of stories and experiences about the park. Their park.
Esther recently attended her first ever protest event.
On the 20th August 2021, along with nearly 1000 others, she marched to the gates of Peel Ports to add her voice to the increasing calls to halt this destructive government-backed scheme and look at alternatives that work for the communities that surround this vital green space. Rather than simply benefit the privately-owned Peel Ports.
At the age of 91, Esther walked the entire length of the protest march. Not only an amazing achievement, but a powerful illustration of how this scheme will affect people of every age, young and old. And how people of every age want to make their voice heard.
This is Esther’s story.
