Green Directory for Leicestershire & Rutland

Vale Villages in Transition Green Day, Bottesford

The Rural Community Council (RCC) has produced a Green Directory in partnership with the Communities Cutting Carbon project. The directory provides information on more than 30 community green groups in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, and gives details of local food projects, recycling schemes, car sharing groups and so on. There are also details about the many support organisations, such as Communities Cutting Carbon, that can help local groups to get a new project off the ground.

One of the green groups listed is Vale Villages in Transition, a local initiative, focused on the Vale of Belvoir. It is part of a growing international movement to address the twin challenges of peak oil and climate change. Events so far include several film showings, public talks and a well-attended Green Day. 

The RCC provides help and support to those who live and work in rural Leicestershire & Rutland. It is involved with a wide range of projects and issues, all of which are becoming of increasing importance as the quality of rural life, and the services provided for rural communities, deteriorate.
