We're sad to share that Village's last day will be 22nd December 2023.
It's been amazing how everyone came together over the years to support their local community, with a shared mission of trying to help create a sustainable way to build a happier, stronger, greener world...

Opportunities to ecologically transform cities and make them more people friendly exist everywhere we look 💚
Paris is investing £225m to transform the iconic but car-choked Champs-Élysées boulevard into an “extraordinary garden.” Among other things, 140K on-street parking spaces will be removed. Bold city-building leadership from @Anne_Hidalgo & team. Via @TheB1M
"Putting pedestrians first at crossings will make streets safer for everyone. This exciting initiative to switch to a default green person gives power back to pedestrians helping them move around more easily, safely and quickly" @MaryCreagh_ @livingstreets

"31% of Londoners chose to walk instead of using a different mode of transport last year.
