I recently got the job of scanning a batch of football programmes, magazines and comics for sale on www.ebay.co.uk under the seller name of the_genies_cave. I thought that they might have a wider interest. Further, I discovered a Flickr group dedicated to them!

This week’s launch of the council’s new £1.5m West Croydon Investment Programme (WCIP) significantly expands the range of support available to new businesses in the area.
The programme reinforces the authority’s commitment to enterprise and the local economy and was announced at the opening of the new ‘Enterprise Hub’ in London Road.
The hub, part-funded by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, is based at the offices of Croydon Voluntary Action (CVA). Its opening was attended by Deputy Mayor of London for business and enterprise, Kit Malthouse, alongside Croydon cabinet members, councillors Vidhi Mohan and Steve O’Connell.
Guests had the chance to see how they can benefit from a share of nearly £2m of funding which is already starting to help create jobs, improve skills, boost the local economy, support communities, and improve the environment.
Visitors to the event learnt about the projects, part funded by the Mayor of London, that form the core of the investment programme.
These six individual schemes each have specific objectives but together form a solid foundation to promote economic regeneration:
‘Entrepeneurs of the Future’ is run in partnership with the Prince’s Trust to support young people looking to set up new businesses, and the ‘Local Employment Creation’ initiative offers wage subsidies to help businesses grow through taking on local people.
‘Root and Branch Support’ focuses on helping young people who are leaving school without the prospects of further training or a job, and the ‘Community Connectors’ scheme is building a network of local people and community groups with shared interests and common goals.
Making West Croydon safer and cleaner is the task of a dedicated officer who will co-ordinate both crime reduction and improvements to environmental standards in the area, and the new Enterprise Hub itself has been opened as a focal point for business opportunities.
Also on display, was information about significant public realm and building front improvements due to take place in the area. Altogether, the total investment is over £4.6million.
The council’s local £1m business rate relief scheme was also promoted, with new businesses able to claim a discount of up to 65 per cent.
Deputy Mayor for Business and Enterprise, Kit Malthouse, said: ‘We are determined to ensure that Croydon’s potential is unleashed, to create jobs and attract investment and that is why the Mayor is spending £23million to improve local facilities including transport links and support enterprise. I am delighted to see the fruits of our cash injection through fantastic projects such as this excellent new hub set to provide practical support for entrepreneurial people in the local area.’
Cabinet member for communities and economic development, Councillor Vidhi Mohan said: “The community’s views have been central to what the WCIP includes and this event has shown that by working together we can continue to boost the growth and prosperity of the area and create opportunities for individuals and businesses in the area.”
The West Croydon Investment Programme is funded by The Mayor of London and has been developed by the GLA, Croydon Council and a variety of other partner agencies.
Ecovolis (Albanian for "Ecobike"), the system launched March 23 with four stations with 10 bikes each. They've already sold 2,000 subscriptions and have rented bikes out to many more customers on a per-trip basis.
The public enthusiasm has exceeded the best expectations of the group behind the scheme: the Social Alternatives Incentive Programme (PASS). It's also stirred interest among potential corporate donors, who had earlier raised their eyebrows at the idea. “Before starting the project, it was very difficult for us to persuade companies to sponsor the project,” said PASS's director Ened Mato “Now the companies are interested and trying to negotiate with us to sponsor the project.”
The response has been so promising, PASS already plans to open an additional two stations in Tirana and even hopes to expand Ecovolis to neighbouring communities.
Although the system is admittedly small for a city of 600,000 people, Ecovolis has been a feat of ingenuity and perseverance given the circumstances. In terms of infrastructure, Tirana has only a few recreational paths on the margins of city green areas, and also a few experimental shared bus/bike lanes. There is simply no culture of transport cycling in the city, and the modal share -- if it were to be measured -- is assumed to be well under 1 percent.
In a sense, introducing bike sharing to Tirana is tantamount to introducing cycling to Tirana. Full stop. Organisers had to be realistic about the start-up budget, while at the same time, make a big splash and stimulate interest in a novel transport concept. And because PASS's core mission is creating opportunities for needy citizens, they wanted the programme to have a strong social element.
So PASS rolled out Ecovolis as one element of a broader programme called Tirana Community Bicycle. Part of its activities are giving away bicycles to children of needy families and part is offering necessary staff positions to marginalised citizens. The programme also includes Sunday cycling lessons and various cycling activities for youth.
In regard to the bike-sharing scheme, it had to be low-tech. A swipe-card activated system of the type operating in London, Paris, Barcelona (and soon in Budapest) would have been far too expensive for Tirana. And aside from the cost, swipe cards just aren't used much in Albania.
But this was fine. PASS fashioned Ecovolis as a social business: Each docking station is staffed by two attendants at all times. The necessary staffing not only creates jobs (two shifts per day = four jobs per station), it also puts a human face on the service. The attendants can explain and promote bike sharing while raising awareness of utility cycling in a brand-new market.
Key to getting the project off the ground was the support of Tirana City Hall and a cash donation of USD 24,000 from the George Soros-funded Open Society Foundation Albania (OSFA). Even more significant was a donation of 450 used bikes from the US-based Pedal for Progress organisation.
One difficulty has been the higher than expected maintenance needs. Although this is a typical challenge for bike-sharing systems, it may be hitting Ecovolis especially hard due to the inexperience of users and the somewhat delicate quality of the standard-issue bicycles. During the initial weeks of the project, 30 of the scheme’s 40 bicycles required repairs on any given day. PASS hopes to address this by purchasing sturdier, new bikes as the system is expanded. It was also hoped that as the scheme’s customers get used to the system, they'll learn to use the bikes without causing damages.
Despite teething problems, Ecovolis is moving ahead. Plans include creating a database of users and members to get a better handle on Ecovolis's market (half of subscribers are women) and to start giving service discounts to Ecovolis customers. Meanwhile, according to Mato, PASS is in talks with the mayors of Durres, Pogradec and Vlora for possible franchises.
