Bootle and Beyond - Mike Brennan - Bootle Action Group - People 1

This week I speak to Michael Brennan of Bootle Action Group - a community group aiming to improve the lived environment in Bootle - as part of the Bootle and Beyond series. This particular focus is on people in Bootle who will be asked similar questions about the personal and the political and with the scope to go off on a tangent if needed!!! Michael is a real community leader.
