Bioregional Interest Group

Tue, 01/06/2010 - 22:48 — Mark Burton

This is a network for people who want to seriously explore the promotion of sustainability in the Mersey valley bioregion - see Green Deal Manchester  for an attempt at defining this. OK, the terminology is different - that's because the boundaries of the bioregion are fluid. I've also done a glossary of concepts for bioregional development at http://greendealmanchester.wordpress.com/concepts-for-bioregional-d...

My pamphlet A Green Deal for the Manchester-Mersey Bioregion was favourably received, but we need to go further - developing thinking and proposals and linking them to action in a variety of ways (and see also the second pamphlet - The Replacement Economy). How to do that we need to debate.

Birley Fields Under Threat from MMU

Mon, 22/02/2010 - 07:44 — Rob

 

Birley Fields is a large area of green open space in Hulme south of the City Centre, which is under threat of development by Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU). Development plans go against the wishes of local residents who would rather see the site remain as green, open space, and accessible to the community. The film to the right was made in 2006, at a street party raising awareness of the value of Birley Fields as a natural space in the heart of the city.
 

 

Redbricks Great Estates Innovation Fund winning voxpox

Sun, 21/02/2010 - 14:55 — Rob

This is a short Voxpox made by residents of the Redbricks housing estate, as part of their successful bid to Groundwork Northwest's Great Estates Innovation fund. This unique one-off grant for £40K has been matched pound for pound by the estate's new landlord, City South, making a total grant of £80K. The idea of the grant is to develop Redbicks as a 'Green Zone', and they will be building on much of the innovation that has taken place within this innovative place over the last 10 years.
