Vince Peart

Vince (or Vincent) Peart is a founder member of the Alston Moor Regeneration Society, in Alston, Cumbria.
Vince Peart was born in Alston Moor, 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 (Netherlands), Corriere Della Sera (Italy), and on the BBC.
A documentary featuring Vince was broadcast by Channel 4 on 11 October 2006 at 10 pm. This documentary followed his efforts to save the local Ruth Lancaster James hospital from closure, secure a film deal and find a girlfriend. The documentary was well received, with The Times television critic commenting “...although the planned feature film is being written by Paul Abbott...Abbott is going to be hard pushed to outdo Collerton's funny, sad documentary".
