Vince Peart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vince Peart (born September 30, 1983) is the founder of the Alston Moor Regeneration Society, in Alston, Cumbria.
Vince first rose to fame during the Summer of 2005 when his efforts to attract women to his home-town were picked up on by international media such as the Guardian, the Mirror, the Telegraph, the Times, the Evening Times, the Standard (Belgium), Libero News (Italy), Bizarre Nieuws (Holland), Corriere Della Sera (Italy), and on the BBC.
Following the intense media interest in his campaign, Vince has gone on to become a political activist for young people living in rural areas. This work has seen him save his local hospital from closure, visit The Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom on a regular basis and join his local council (becoming the youngest Councillor the area has ever seen in the process).
A documentary featuring Vince was broadcast by Channel 4 on 11 October 2006 at 10pm.
