Philip Revell is from Sustaining Dunbar in East Lothian http://sustainingdunbar.org/
In spring of 2008 Sustaining Dunbar was just in its infancy and one of the first things started was a village bakery. The family who had previously run the local bakery had failed to sell it as an opportunity for 2 years. So Sustaining Dunbar looked at how it might be used as a community asset.
Found a more suitable commercial building and looked at setting this up as a bakery and cafe. After a few months of planning applied to the lottery fund. More than just an ecological concern this was to be much more and seen as a community resource and social enterprise.
Finally acquired the original bakery and planning consent applied for, hope to open in Spring 2011.
