Building your own street is a radical solution to rising house prices. But for 33 families in Leeds, it’s about to become reality. It’s taken 12 years to get this far, and the venture is not without its problems. Every decision must be agreed: what to do about sharing cars; telling off each other’s kids; and what colour to paint the front door? It’s not everyone’s idea of fun but for David Francis who’s lived in Chapeltown Leeds all his life, Bill & Ali who are retiring one mile down the road, and Becky & Ruth who want to move in together, it’s a dream they are desperate to see come true.
