Cheltenham Transition Town Network
Transition Towns are popping up all over the country in different areas, and are considered by some to be crucial to helping combat dangerous climate change.  It's also a solution to peak oil and peak resources and helps communities to live within their local resources. Vision 21 will spend one year facilitating a coordinated, supportive and effective Transition Towns Network in Cheltenham that will enhance community resilience. Click here for more details.

Cheltenham Business Champions
Environment Champion Seminar returns spring/summer 2010 Cheltenham.   What do HSBC, M&S, Tesco, B&Q and BP have in common? They are all successful household names, who have branches in our town.
