🎙️ How communities can live more sustainably in the face of #climatechange?
For this episode of ‘Little Changes’ we travelled to Newry to chat with some members of the @Newry_BID Regional Community Resilience Group, along with DfI Rivers team, about their positive working relationship.
Jonathan McKee, DfI Rivers: “The management of flood risk is not just about building physical built infrastructure, it’s about engagement with communities, it’s sharing information … it’s about a range of interventions.”

@garymckeown@belfastcc@SeamasBelfast It was open last Saturday, and was busy. I think that’s why a few of us tried both gates today - because we’d all previously visited & expected it to be open. Maybe a sign or some info on socials would help?
🎧 NEW 🎧 in our latest episode of ‘Little Changes’ podcast we’re joined by @clare_guinness CEO @BelfastChamber and DfI Deputy Secretary of Transport & Road Asset Management, Colin Woods.
In this episode, we discuss the impact of traffic congestion on Belfast city centre businesses, and the collaborative work to improve things this festive season.
Colin Woods: “A lot of the things we have done this year in consultation with Clare and others is making sure people have choices.” #KeepBelfastMoving
