A million miles less!

13 March 2012

We've just heard some fantastic news, the grant application for our "Million Miles" sustainable travel project has been approved by the Climate Challenge Fund. The project will run over three years, and aims to reduce Black Isle residents' annual car mileage by a mere 1% - or, astonishingly, a million miles a year.

There's going to be a lot more detail in the coming months, but the first things are going to be to appoint a project officer, and to complete the survey of current travel attitudes we've already started - see the inserts in Chatterbox and Muir Mutters.

Watch this space and dust off your bikes!

We are part of the rapidly expanding worldwide Transition Towns movement. The Black Isle is a peninsula of about 100 sq miles ENE of Inverness in Scotland, UK.
