The Tadley Health & Fitness Centre has been given a solar boost thanks to just under £100,000 of funding from Sport England ’s Swimming Pool Support Fund.

The new solar panels and the building management system were installed on the council-owned facility earlier in the year and will save around 19 tonnes of carbon a year – that’s the equivalent to around 25 short-haul flights. The renewable energy generated will also help to save money on energy bills.

Family friendly events, activities and live performances are coming to Basingstoke town centre today as Basingstoke Green Week returns this year.

Children are invited to come and marvel at Becky the Bin-tastic Magician as she turns rubbish into treasure and sing along with Junk Jodie Art and Storytelling as they learn about the Amazon rainforest, in two of several live shows taking place today on a stage outside M&S in Festival Place.

Out in The Malls Shopping Centre you can shop until you drop at a green market where you can buy organic and local produce, take home free water-saving items and pick up bee boxes, bug hotels and similar crafts hand made by volunteers.

And as you browse the many stalls, you can also talk to our Green Team to get free top tips for how you can save money, help your garden flourish, travel more sustainably and shrink your carbon footprint too.

There's loads to get involved with today and throughout the week until Sunday 15 June. See everything going on at https://www.sustainable-basingstoke.co.uk/green-week

LibDems deliver, others talk.

🚨BREAKING: Government backs Lib Dem call to expand Free School Meals!

The Government has finally listened to calls to expand free school meals to all children on universal credit, a longstanding Liberal Democrat policy.

Our Munira Wilson has consistently put pressure on the Government on the issue including a recent amendment to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which the Government voted down, to expand free school meals to all children in poverty.

Under the Conservatives, struggling families had to skip meals or sacrifice prescriptions to make sure their children had lunch to eat. Their lives will be transformed by this change.

This can only be a first step. To end the cost of learning crisis, the Government needs to commit to auto-enrolling eligible children for free school meals, lifting the two child benefit cap, and capping uniform costs to truly change the lives of children in poverty.

We’ll hold their feet to the fire to make sure today’s change is just a start.

“The Lib Dem leader wants to rewrite British politics – not with the language of crisis, but that of care.

“Personal experience shapes the Liberal Democrat leader’s agenda, offering a humane alternative and exposing a state oblivious to quiet sacrifice.”

Have you seen our posts about a clothes swap we're holding at Green Weekend and wondered what it is all about?

A clothes swap (or you may know it as swishing) is an event where you bring along clothes from your wardrobe that for some reason don't get to see the light of day. It's not that they are not in good condition, or that you don't like them, you just don't reach for them.

You get a token per item you donate (or a few depending on the item). Each item you take home with you will "cost" a token (or a few) and that is how you "pay" for the new-to-you clothes.
