Undertake practical local projects that build community resilience and cut carbon commissions
We are a very active Transition Town group that works across the University and Town on a wide range of carbon cutting and resilience building projects. Our dynamic group comprises of residents, University staff and students all supported by a skilled staff team who together deliver projects under the themes of Food, Local Economy, Transport, Housing and Energy.
