Community radio nears reality

AFTER several attempts over many years, a community radio station for the Derwent Valley may soon be established. Derwent Valley Councillor and Valley Vision board member Jim Elliott advises that a frequency has been allocated and a public meeting will be held to discuss the way forward. Councillor Elliott said the organising committee was now looking for enthusiastic volunteers to fill a variety of roles. The meeting will be held at the Valley Vision office, 2 High St, New Norfolk, at 6.15pm on January 14. More information is available from Valley Vision project officer Ian Brown on 6261 8777.
