There are all sorts of inspiring ideas out there for ‘green projects’ – the sort of thing which could be entered for a Sustainable Sidmouth Champions Award 2023.
Radio 4 took us to the back streets of Belfast, to walk through some inspiring urban landscapes:
In recent years, residents of some streets have got together and turned their back entries, as they are often known, into pleasant lanes, festooned with flowers and used for neighbourhood parties and even arts events. Arts consultant Amberlea Neely and architect Aisling Rusk are campaigning for these hidden thoroughfares to become a vital part of Belfast’s green infrastructure – safe play areas and traffic-free walking and cycling routes.

Looking at the Social Farms & Gardens website, this is indeed all very inspiring stuff:

Are there any such back alleys and neglected corners in the Sid Valley which could become part of our green infrastructure?
