I'm a councillor on Wychavon District Council and Pershore Town Council.
Began in January 2011 with some input from Ealing Transitions (West London). Small steering group with irregular attendance but regular (monthly) meetings. Has in effect incorporated Syon Lane Community Garden next Syon Lane Station, Isleworth. Has been promised some local authority start-up funding for publicity etc. Now in process of formalising some structure to receive and bank grants.
Hadley Mass Transition is in the 'mulling' phase. At present we are simply gathering some info about people who are interested in Transition. In the near future (summer/early fall 2010), the hope is to begin having regular gatherings to get acquainted with each other and to move ahead in the process. Please be assured that we will protect your contact info - we dislike spam as much as you do! -Michelle

El Manzano is a small resilient rural village leading the way in the Bío-Bío region of Chile. The community is in the midst of a participatory planning process, tweaking the Transition Towns process for its Chilean context, to determine its own destiny.
