How Britain’s Fragile Coastal Communities Are Reclaiming Power

Nadia visits reporter and author Hazel Sheffield in her Hastings beach hut to talk about the coastal communities around Britain that are reimagining their economies in the face of government neglect and climate breakdown.

Following the recent ACFM Trip episode on The Beach, Nadia and Hazel talk about the Hastings Commons project, a constellation of community-owned buildings in a deprived part of the town, and the seaside village in Somerset that built itself a £7m art gallery.

Hazel’s book, Frontierlands: Britain’s Survival in the Making, is available now.
