About Us
TTL is a group that is part of the worldwide Transition Network and seeks to tackle the twin
challenges of climate change and peak oil locally.
Climate Change
The world - its temperature, its sea-level, its deserts, its weather - is changing. Can we slow the process down or even reverse it by changing our behaviour?
Peak Oil
Oil will never be as readily available again. We haven't run out but it is going to become harder and harder to source. We are completely dependent on this increasingly endangered commodity...... Can we become resilient to an impending oil drought?
Transition
The 'Transition' model asks communities to find a solution locally. Can we protect ourself against an oil shortage by creating local networks, setting up car pools, adapting our housing, affecting local authority decisions etc etc? We hope so......

TTL Domestic Solar Scheme

This has left the industry reeling and if it goes ahead, it is likely to effect the viability of both our domestic and community solar scheme proposals. Read more...

TTL Bicycle Maintenance Course - Wednesdays 8.15pm - 9.15pm, starting 1st February at Wilbury Hall, SG6 4DU.
Thanks to the enthusiasm of volunteer teacher Frank, the last course was very well received. "I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and learnt things I didn't know I'd be capable of. The hour just flew by!". This course will last 6 weeks and will start off with basic adjustment for comfort, and progressing to suit the participants. Topics will most likely include oiling, cleaning, gears, brakes and tyres. Cost: £20 for all 6 sessions. Places are limited so let us know if you would like to attend.
