Local Heroes ft. the Bexhill Superstars

Over the summer months, we at Movers & Shakers HQ ran a competition: the local group that acquired the most signatures towards the Parky Charter petition would get their own special episode. And here it is, with the superstars from the Bexhill and Battle area, who acquired a whopping 573 signatures! Three of them joined the Movers & Shakers in the pub, and we also spoke to the TikTok poet whose viral video spurred the campaign on. But most importantly, this episode contains important instructions on what you – yes: you! – need to do next. Write to your MP, share your experience, and urge Britain's politicians to give this debate proper consideration.

Each week, Rory Cellan-Jones guides us between the laughs and moans in the pub. To read Rory's summary of this week's episode, click here.
