Unfortunately contrary to yesterdays report members of the boroughs recycling team will not be in the NCC studio today but will hopefully be joining us on Thursday afternoon instead.

There presence on Thursday will hopefully give us an opportunity to find out how the week has been going and what effect they feel this will have had on improving recycling performance in the borough.

Of course Newham starts from a decidedly humble position in terms of National league performance but with the reported concern of both Newhams’ elected Mayor, Sir Robin Wales and recently appointed Chief Executive, Joe Duckworth there will be pressure to see recent improvements in performance continue - I’m sure the borough team will give us a clear indication of the scale of the task at hand and how they intend to go about putting Newham positively on the national recycling map.

Of course one of the advantages of being part of the burgeoning community development that is the Didsbury Centre in East Ham is that you invariably have someone on the spot to give a bit of feedback with regard to events in the borough.

In this instance, Cliff Schafer of the Wombles, responsible for the running of the Didsbury Centre and a leading light in the third sector recycling movement in the borough was on hand at the first event at Newham Dockside, Beckton. While the week long initiative by the borough attempts to highlight the issue of recycling it will be passionate and ongoing commitment that ultimately engages residents to change their way of doing things – to this end Cliff has promised to return to the Beckton location with the Wombles to build on Mondays event at a date to be confirmed next month.

All over the country the interest in recycling certainly seems to be on the increase, here at NCC being a green minded bunch we are always keen to encourage and promote any moves towards a more sensible way of doing things that will hopefully benefit the planet and it’s residents. Whilst no borough is an island – well there might be some actually – we ask what is Newham up to on the recycling front – this week and off into the future.

Of course the NCC studios are themselves a shining homage to recycling - or more appropriately re-use – with more than a little help from our Wombling friends from Newham Community Recycling – we launched on March 2^nd this year with a complete absence of expenditure on new items – which was of course useful as we don’t have any money.

With National campaigns, global awareness and a variety of other media friendly stories NCC will be doing it’s bit by highlighting some of what will be going on in Newham by broadcasting and creating a podcast each day this week. This is just as well as we discovered that the august publication “The Newham Magazine” had already promised as much in its’ current edition

So what’s going on this week - listen to the broadcast and find out innit!

Our friends from Newham Community Recycling the subject of a short video -which goes some way in giving the world outside Newham - as well as those still not up to speed in the borough - a view of what exactly it is they do.

Emerging media star Michelle of the Wombles Team gives an insight into the recycling process and how to possibly find love along the way.

Whilst they can’t guarantee they will help you find love - the Wombles certainly give Recycling lots of local love - in the form of collections and targeted re-use of unwanted domestic items. To get the full picture watch the video.

Mary Wust - NCC’s American Intern hosted her first live music guest, Newham resident - Daryl Holley of Branded No.1 fame, who it has to be said may have been a little, as they say euphemistically in the media, tired and emotional - though he was actually quite lively and jolly - if not always entirely coherent.

So a good test for Mary who passes with flying colours, and a warning to all young ladies who come into contact with musicians with a taste for the devils brew.

That said Daryl gives quite a nice performance of a song in part one and part two - prior to his new album launch on April 15th

at the Betsy Trotwood.
