@Stegsythedog That's awesome to hear. Wiltshire are pretty good with what they take, but it's also great to have Terracycle filling in some of the gaps and it raises money for charity too.

[Salisbury Transition City @TransitionCity]

Don't forget you can take so many things to recycle though this scheme. There are plenty of drop-off points around Salisbury. The money raised goes to Medic4Medic.

[Happy Salisbury 💚 @HappySalisbury]

Salisbury recycles!

As the climate changes and temperatures increase in the summer, wouldn't it be great to see some urban street tree planting in Salisbury? Keep the town cooler, provides shade and also looks great. @wiltscouncil @SalisburyCC

NEW: “Of the 6,700 premature deaths attributed to higher temperatures in cities during 2015, 1/3rd of these could have been prevented by increasing urban tree cover up to 30%.”

Woodland regeneration at a site I manage in the Chilterns. Holly, beech, hornbeam, birch, ash, elder, hawthorn all coming up through a protective layer of bramble. Paths cut through the undergrowth & some bramble cut periodically each winter.

This on a one way street In Salisbury in a 20 mph zone just before a bend where the cars are going about 10 mph. Where are the signs saying “Drivers drive with extreme caution and take care of more vulnerable road users.” ?@Activetravelsal @Vespasianvs1 @Al_BaylissLD

Portugal has become the first
European country to reduce VAT on
bicycles (including e-bikes & cargo bikes) after amending the 2023 state budget to cut VAT from 23% to 6%.

[Salisbury Transition City @TransitionCity]

Really pleased to see these appearing in Salisbury. We hope we see some more docks appearing soon.

@safer_salisbury @journal_gem The person who runs our Facebook account is away for the weekend. There will be an update there when she is back, but I can confirm that it has been postponed. We are hoping to host the event in spring 2023. We will get back to stall holders over the next few days with details.

People In The Park: POSTPONED

We have this evening, after consulting with the council, sponsors and other people involved, taken the difficult decision to postpone People In The Park. We will be in touch with stall holders and performers over the next few days with more details.

The ITV show with Her Majesty and Sir David Attenborough touring the gardens of Buckingham Palace and discussing the trees and nature showed her huge knowledge and passion. She was a true leader and will be missed by us all.

[Salisbury Transition City @TransitionCity]

Salisbury Transition City mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

She was an inspirational leader and passionate about wildlife and nature. She launched projects such as The Queen's Green Canopy, which has provided 3 million trees to schools, charities and other groups.

[Salisbury Transition City @TransitionCity]

She has overseen changes at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace to run the buildings on solar, wind and hydro power.

Returning to the PITP stage for 2022 is brilliant acoustic pop/ rock duo Somehow I'm Home. Mixing beautiful vocals with melodic guitar and cajun vibes, Somehow I'm Home are guaranteed to bring some sunshine to Lizzy Gardens.
