Local organisations and individuals find out from our member of the European Parliament how Europe can help Radstock regeneration.

Can Europe make a difference to the future of Radstock?

Glyn Ford is the South West England member of the European Parliament. Come and talk to him about why Radstock is such a great place and why it deserves real, imaginative regeneration.
