Braintree Ways isn’t a community video diary project, although it pretends to be. With characters such as sociopath Gavin Ogdon, hopeless hippie Lisa Webb and Kitty Carnick – whose favourite things are cats and blackmail – Madeleine Swann, Rachel Jarrett and Stephen Waring welcome you to Braintree Ways.
Forget watching the soaps or reading a novel, it’s real life that you should be observing

“Having been a practitioner in cultural activities in the local area for a number of years, I was thrilled to be invited to take part in a community project of such relevance and importance. Much has been said in recent political circles regarding the costly ‘big society,’ so local projects such as this are invaluable.”

“Truth, integrity and the driving force for improvements. These are the things that I feel we lack in the general populace. I am part of this project in order to sniff out social injustice and erase the troubles that blight our neighbourhoods.”
