Scottee & Friends and Cambridge Junction wanted to meet the people who think theirs is the loneliest street in Cambridge. They asked residents about the sort of people they would like to meet, the neighbours they wish for and why they don’t currently interact.
After everything that’s happened, would you like to get to know your neighbours better?
During the pandemic many of us became more aware of who our neighbours are. For some it meant that the people who live next door have been on hand to deliver food and provide much needed care and support. For others those awkward nods as they pass each other became a smile and a ‘Hello’ on a Thursday evening as they clapped for key workers.
Lock down brought people together but some of us still have no idea who our neighbours are. So Scottee and Friends wondered after everything that’s happened, would you like to get to know your neighbours better?
