Let us know what you think
Submitted by Dave Adams on Mon, 31/01/2011 - 12:03
Because we have been having some technical difficulties with this site, we are in the process of setting up something similar at sustainablesandbach.blogspot.com.
If you would like to have a community website, where like-minded people can work towards a better, greener and more sustainable Sandbach, please try to create an account on one or both of these sites, give us your comments and let us know if you have any problems.
See the contacts page for our email addresses.
Thanks

Safer Roads and Saving Carbon - The 20's Plenty Campaign
Submitted by Dave Adams on Mon, 11/10/2010 - 20:23
The 20’s Plenty campaign aims to make the roads safer for cyclists and pedestrians by lobbying local authorities to reduce the speed limit to 20mph on residential and urban streets.
More and more towns across the UK are adopting the policy and reaping the rewards. Shouldn’t Sandbach be one of them?

Fiona Bruce MP Listening about Lighter Later Campaign...Perhaps
Submitted by Dave Adams on Fri, 01/10/2010 - 15:20
Further to my last post on this subject, Fiona Bruce MP has responded to my letter asking her to support the upcoming Private Member's Bill, which proposes making the most of our daylight by moving the clocks forward by a hour for the entire year (see www.lighterlater.org).
While she has not yet committed to supporting the bill, she tells me that she is now 'open-minded' on the subject and is listening to the debate (relevant paragraphs reproduced below).
