On Tuesday 28 June Bioregional will be hosting a tour and talk by co-founders Sue Riddlestone OBE and Pooran Desai OBE at BedZED eco-village in Hackbridge, South London. Initiated by Bioregional and completed in 2002, BedZED remains, arguably, the most ambitious attempt at all-round sustainability in a major new housing development. Sue and Pooran will focus on how building design has fostered a greater sense of community, and on the lessons learned. They will also share how BedZED has inspired a new generation of low-carbon communities in the UK and across the world. The talk will be followed by a tour around the iconic development. East Surrey Family History Society meeting is taking place tomorrow (Thursday) at St Nicholas's Church Hall, Robin Hood Lane, Sutton when Dr Judy Hill will be talking about Agricultural Unrest and the Swing riots in Surrey. Though the local gentry were often sympathetic,the government's Special Commissions were savage and hanged nine men and transported nearly 500 others. It was insisted that Swing had its roots deep in hunger and oppression which would be remedied only by parliamentary reform. All meetings on 1st Thursday of each month at 8.00pm. Doors open 7.30pm. Ray and Vi Donovan visit schools in Sutton and around the UK to speak to the young people and staff about the consequences of crime, and the ripple effect every crime has not just on the victim but their family and the community too.
They tell their story about the death of their son Christopher and how they met his killers through restorative Justice to young people from year seven to Universities. Their story is hard hitting and talks about the dangers of getting mixed up with the wrong people and where it could lead you. |
