🗓️ Some dates for your 2025 diaries 🗓️
The CCC will be publishing some landmark pieces next year.
We’re still working on all of this (and a few other pieces!) so bear with us. We’re really looking forward to sharing our analysis with you.
We’re planting seeds with We Are Project Grow in the Voicebox tent this evening!
It’s day one of #CheltLitFest 2024 – the moment we've all been waiting for is finally here 🌟
We can’t wait to fill Montpellier Gardens with bookish delights. Come wander through the bookshop, grab a coffee in the cafe and soak up the autumn sunshine
See you around 📚☕🍂

We resorted to using play sand to make sandbags to protect our office & The Play Sanctuary. 🌊 ⚠️ 😬
Good luck to all tenants & staff at @scrapstoreGlos overnight 🤞🍀
Suds across our town would help with a lot of flash flooding.
School #SuDS defence is still going strong💧☀️
🪻 The attractive #raingardens were planted almost a year ago as part of a wider transformative project in @wfcouncil to address issues stemming from heavy rainfall and reduce the risk to the school.
🚸 Covering an area of 111 m2 with over 750 plants, the rain gardens are enhancing local #biodiversity, helping to reduce pollution and create a secure, green barrier between the road and the school pavement.
🌱 School children helped us plant a section of the rain gardens - take a look and find out more:

Today it is the UK's turn to experience serious flooding due to intense rainfall.
A reminder that UK rainfall intensity has increased markedly over the past 60+ years. All consistent with the physics of a warming atmosphere which is now more humid.

The role of street trees 🌳in reducing flash-flooding🌊
Simply, they SLOW THE RATE🏃♂️rainwater builds up in our streets 👇
🫴Holding water in their canopies
🧽 Roots enable the ground to absorb more water
Plus 🌳🌳🌳they cool our cities, thus lowering air moisture. Pretty cool😎 – at Kingston upon Thames, London

Thinking of everyone who worked so hard on today’s cancelled celebrations. Holst was way ahead of his time in a lot of ways, caring deeply for nature and our planet. Building community resilience to extreme weather is vital in our changing world.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them.

Blimey. I've seen flooded properties in Pittville & Fairview this evening and people experiencing really stressful situations. Thank you for sharing - people need to realise that this isn't normal, our climate is changing.
