Visit to sustainable housing project
TTL Housing Group has contributed our ideas to the Heritage Foundation on sustainable housing for Letchworth. Some of us have got interested in visiting Hockerton Housing Project, a sustainable housing project. You can see more about it on their website.
We know the journey by road is about 2 hours by car; a bit north east from Nottingham. We have booked a tour on Saturday 27 June at 2pm. The three hour tour will be £20 per person (waged) or £15 (low waged or student rate.
In good Transition tradition, we hope that TTLers will fill cars for a day out or make best use of the fuel used to stay over to explore the area. There’s Southwell Minster, a very fine very early and unspoilt church in a quaint town of Southwell. Just down the road is the National Trust’s chillingly preserved workhouse. The Derbyshire Dales aren’t far and on line you will find lots else to make a weekend of it. Some of us will be camping and caravanning. Look at your diary… show your interest by sending us an email at TTLetchworth@gmail.com and marking it for attention of Sue.
