The first, on permaculture, sustainability, &#38; forest gardens, was quite poorly attended - not something one worries about in general at barcamps, as there&#8217;s so much [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a lot of coverage of the death of local papers, but does this have to be the end of local reporting? Recently hyperlocal blogs have arisen everywhere from villages to inner-city postcodes to plug the gaps in local coverage.
