The Transition Bath Transport Group has linked up with the Bath Cycle Campaign\, and will be expanding to be the "\;Transport and Built Environment Group."\;
This larger group will concern itself with issues like the Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS)\, and the conflicts that arise with converting existing housing to be more energy efficient. The RSS has a standard definition of sustainability - "\;to enable all people throughout the world to satisfy their basic needs and enjoy a better quality of life\, without compromising the quality of life of future generations"\; - but does the RSS deliver this?
7.30pm at 55 New King Street
