Aims & Objectives

We all know that the building and servicing of housing (and workplaces) uses significant amounts of petrochemicals and other finite resources.

Our aim is to find out how to reduce our consumption and build more sustainably for the future.

At the moment we have three active subgroups:

• DPD group Getting involved with the emerging Local Development Plan

• Eco-construction group Addressing practical issues round construction

• Cohousing group For those interested in the cohousing model of social sustainability

Please get in touch with us if you want to become involved. You will be very welcome. Please visit our website often to see all the latest news & updates from our group. You can also subscribe to the bulletin for a monthly update about all TTT activities.

We are also building a set of resources that we hope will be of use to people who are interested in any of these issues. If you have anything to add to this section please do let us know.
