With help and guidance from Permaculture designer Cat Middle we set about producing a plan for the Community Garden based on permaculture principles. Now all we have to do is transfer it from paper into the garden. With thanks to Cat and Sophia Elek from HogCo for organising and funding the sessions.

 Low Carbon Travel |
Green TravelThe guide, Delivering Sustainable Low Carbon Travel: An Essential Guide for Local Authorities, covers a range of sustainable travel initiatives that authorities can consider bringing forward as part of Local Transport Plans. The government has also announced a £10m funding boost to green transport initiatives across the England. Under the plans the government’s Cycling Demonstration Towns, the Peak District National Park and sustainable transport charity Sustrans will receive extra money. The funding – the remaining allocation of the government’s £60m cycling budget for this year – comes after results from an evaluation of the original six Cycle Demonstration Towns (Aylesbury, Brighton & Hove, Darlington, Derby, Exeter and Lancaster) found a 27 per cent increase in the number of cycle trips. Transport minister Sadiq Khan said: “The new money for the Cycling Demonstration Towns and the Peak District National Park represents a great opportunity for people to join the cycling revolution. By getting more people cycling, we can help tackle congestion and pollution, as well as helping to promote health and fitness.” Delivering Sustainable Low Carbon Travel: An Essential Guide for Local Authorities is available here. |
