And Transition Town Hay is organising an event to make it easier for us, in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce. Glasu, the Green fund raising body for Powys, is also involved, as is TRaCC - the transport consortium for Mid-Wales.
On 19th Sept, the event will take over the Buttermarket and Market Square. They're calling it Celebrating Tomorrow's Transport, and it will include a sponsored fancy dress bike ride from the centre of town to the Warren (fancy dress for the kids, and optional for adults).
There's going to be a circus performer, too, riding a mountain bike with stilts (!) and information on electric bikes and cars, community taxis, car sharing, and other ways to minimise car use.
Meanwhile, they're also encouraging local people to get a household energy survey done. Contact details are:
01588 638738 or info@h-e-s.org
Phoebe Boulanger can be contacted for more information about new allotments on phoebeboulanger@hotmail.com
and there's a possibility of a food security project in association with Presteigne - for more information contact
daveprescott@gmail.com
Finally, on Thursday 8th October, at the Parish Hall, the Chamber of Commerce and Transition Hay are holding a meeting aimed at local businesses, and what steps they can take to ease the problems of ever more expensive oil.
