In April 2021 a new initiative was started to gather interested parties in Melton Mowbray to make the town a Transition Town. We welcome businesses, voluntary organisations and individuals to join us to make Melton a sustainable, people orientated town; to make the town centre vibrant and support local farmers and businesses. If you are interested in being part of this initiative or would like to promote a business or person locally who fulfils the Transition Town criteria, please get in touch via e-mail : melton.transition@gmail.com or look at our website: Melton Transition Website

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
