@arcteam have moved to THE COMMON SPACE CLG!
@SpaceIw, formed in June 2015, has raised over a million pounds since to support the grassroots revival of the Isle of Wight, in particular the Bay. The Common Space has influenced natural, social and cultural change over a decade.

Let's play a game of spot the difference 🔎

One of these streets benefits from cooler pavements, calmer drivers, and cleaner air. The other does not.

Can you tell which is which? 🤷

Our museum at Sandown Barracks Battery will be closed for 2025 while we get out sh*t together and hit the road.
We’ll be sending our museum exhibition pieces near and far so watch out for updates in case we drop one at a venue near you!
Want to be a venue? DM us for details.

Labour does not get nature.

“The action plan is agreed & written. It is utterly baffling this new government would want to shelve".

No wonder we are one of most nature-depleted corners of planet, with #biodiversity in free fall

[Richard Benwell @RSBenwell]

Low-carbon tech, housing, sustainable agriculture and nature-recovery can be delivered together with intelligent planning.

Here's hoping for a land use framework that:
🎄allocates space for nature
🎄links to planning decisions & incentives
🎄pools developer funds for nature.
