New Mills Widen Their Horizon

13 members of Transition New Mills and some members of Sustainable Hayfield attended a Widening Horizons Workshop in November. The aim was to envision what New Mills and the Sett Valley would look like in a sustainable future using a process called ‘backcasting’. The group started with the future as they would like to see it in 10 years and worked out how they might get there. Idea include sustainable bio-diverse woodlands with fruit and nuts, bananas growing locally in greenhouses, and more than 3000 homes generating solar electricity.
