The story so far…

A Whalley Range GP cycled to work taking air quality readings on the way.  She was shocked to see how high they were. She made a video about it with the Whalley Range Climate Action Group which attracted a lot of local attention.

We started hearing heartbreaking stories about local adults and children with respiratory diseases which may be aggravated by the poor air quality.

The Climate Action Group wanted to do something about it. So did Walk Ride Whalley Range and our local councillors. Solutions need to be as easy as possible and affordable for everyone. Our research showed that involving local people will be critical to success.

We want to know what you think. What drives or motivates you?  What barriers do you face? How can we make change work?

The big conversation

We have funding for a big conversation involving as many different people and opinions as possible, to work out how to improve air quality in Whalley Range taking everyone’s views into account. 

We will be running workshops across Whalley Range. If you, your group or organisation are interested in finding out more, please get in touch. We would love to hear from you.

Nello James updates

More information soon

 

We have been developing more detailed proposals for the redevelopment of Walton Cottage since we ran the public consultation event.

As part of our design work, we need to see what, if any foundations exist under the walls of the older buildings on site.

To do this we will be digging some trial pits on site on Tuesday 26th July.

To keep people informed I have put some notices on the site – copy attached.

Please feel free to share this pdf with any local residents who may be interested in what is going on.

On the main design, we are aiming to share, what we hope will be final proposals, in circa 2 to 3 weeks.

The proposals will go up on a mini website to allow for feedback.

We will do flyers and emails again to publicise the info.

A couple of weeks after this, we hope to then submit the formal planning application.

Best Regards
