Reports the Argus: "Mr Grimshaw said: “Sadly, over the last year many people have wanted to engage with Transition, but have left uninspired, annoyed, exhausted or burned."

I shudder to think of how much carbon emission has been generated by this dysfunctional group.

Also, just how did they influence anything? It sounds like a club for like minded people, except they didn't like each other in the end.

That's the problem with all of these single-issue fanatics - in the end, once they've exhausted the money, they turn on each other...

Why should a council fund local groups to explore the climate change agenda? What can they possibly propose that is going to be worth the effort of reading, let alone an annual grant of £2500?

IMO Brighton Council funds kooky groups to show that it 'cares' & to boxtick the various obligations imposed by NuLab central government. And, despite a change of central government, B&H Council will probably continue to do so.
