Communities in Crisis

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A series of four programmes. What is it that holds a community together? It is only in a crisis that the skeleton of a community is exposed.
Margaret Percy looks at how communities have coped with very different types of crisis. 1: Shutdown
The development of steel production in Corby had turned a small village into a thriving town. When the steelworks were shut down in 1980, thousands were thrown out of work and the future looked bleak.
But Corby proved resilient; there were those who could see a future for the town. Producer BRIAN KING BBC Birmingham
