S01E03: The Co-op, Walter Segal Houses, BrightonThis project was a co-operative venture - 10 young families each put in 30 hours of construction work per week.
Kevin travels to Brighton to meet a co-operative of ten young families, including ex-travellers and single parents, who are building both their own and each others homes.
A housing association bought the land from the council for £58,000. Paul then worked with the association to put the co-operative together. All the members were people on the council's housing list.
