Landscape Juice Network to feature on BBC and C4 national news tomorrow evening (5 April)
Some excellent news.
It's been a very busy week in LJN towers and I'm pleased to say, unless there is a major news item to overtake tomorrow's events, that Landscape Juice's hosepipe exemption campaign will be one of the headline news items on either BBC 6 or 10 O'Clock national news (possibly even both) and C4 News (7.00pm) tomorrow evening.
All of our collective hard work is really starting to pay off. The BBC tell me that around 8 million people watch the 6 O'Clock news.
Filming for the BBC news item took place today in a garden at Hindhead with LJN member Ben Lannoy and tomorrow's C4 filming will take place (fingers crossed) with Caro Sanders at a garden she's just completed in Ealing.
Both the BBC and C4 picked up on our extensive coverage of the hosepipe ban and our petition.
Both also told me that the threat to professional landscapers and gardeners is an angle that hasn't been part of the national debate until now.

We've set up a lobby group, http://www.landscapejuicenetwork.com/group/lobbying for any members who want to progress with lobbying re the hosepipe ban and any other issues. I had initially set it up wrongly blocking by accident some who wanted to join, (huge apologies for that) - but it is now fine.
Having experience of lobbying, trying to get a 'combined' voice is very difficult and often works better when the issue, as with the hosepipe ban, has several different approaches and therefore many more voices rather than a PR led self interested campaign.
Its interesting and good news that many councils are starting to get quite angry at the restrictions imposed this year - and of course the printed media are as yet to take things seriously, (Easter Holidays and only interns and temps manning the desks - I hope).
