Generation Radio – the station for Clapham Park
The New Deal for Communities Programme is one of the most important area based initiatives ever launched in England by the Labour government. It is designed to reduce the gaps between some of the poorest neighbourhoods and the rest of the Country.
In February 1999 the Clapham Park area was selected by a borough-wide strategic partnership to be Lambeth’s New Deal for Communities neighbourhood. A successful bid led to the award of £56m over a ten-year period, starting in April 2000, which has since transformed the area.
Generation Radio sprang out of the Clapham Park Project and is now the local station for the Clapham Park area, providing shows 24 hours a day, every week of the year. You can listen to the station online through its website here: www.generationradio.co.uk.
Below, Generation Radio presenter, Ian Henry, who hosts the Love Soul show every Monday at 7pm and also the Weekend Soul shows every Saturday and Sunday at 10am, explains what Generation Radio is all about.
