Stratford Climate Action's monthly meeting is this week, Wednesday 12th November, at 7:30 pm, at Stratford Methodist Church (in the New Room, at the back of the church). We'll be discussing ideas from a local transport enthusiast for improving local buses in the meeting.

We know from our recent e-waste week with @stratforddc.bsky.social that some people have old smart phones kicking around in drawers and cupboards. Now you can help Welcome Here Stratford by donating them for use by newcomers to the town. Drop them off at our Climate Hub in Meer Street.

Some good news to brighten up your day! We share a snapshot of positive climate action stories monthly 💪🌍

As well as the #RepairCafe in the Methodist church hall this morning, there's a "Give and Take" stall. This month's theme is "Toys and Games" so a perfect time to declutter toy cupboards and/or pick up some new games for free.

This Saturday is the first Saturday in November which means it is also #RepairCafe day! From 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM at Stratford Methodist Church in Old Town, Stratford-upon-Avon we'll have volunteers who can try to fix your broken stuff for FREE! Sewing, bikes, electrics, sharpening and more!

And if all the bus companies are bad, we need to change the model. #bustrated #buses #publictransport @warwickshirecc.bsky.social @stratforddc.bsky.social @mp4stratford.bsky.social @bettertransport.bsky.social

There will be a short celebration of Carbon Literacy Action Day on 13th November. There are free tickets available for anyone who wants to know more about #CarbonLiteracy by chatting to Net Zero Stratford trainers and meeting Luke Dorian of the RSA. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/carbon-lit...

We had a great response to our call with @stratforddc.bsky.social to bring e-waste to the Climate Hub. This was all collected this morning, so if you still have small items old tech to recycle please put them in a carrier back on top of, or by the side of, your bins on your normal collection day.

We’re sharing people’s stories about using the local buses, to campaign for better services. Send us yours or send them to your councillors using the hashtag #bustrated #buses @warwickshirecc.bsky.social @stratforddc.bsky.social @mp4stratford.bsky.social @bettertransport.bsky.social

We need an integrated transport system. Will council-run bus franchises work in rural areas? If not, we need to look at nationalisation. #bustrated #buses #publictransport @warwickshirecc.bsky.social @stratforddc.bsky.social @mp4stratford.bsky.social @bettertransport.bsky.social

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 12th November, at 7.30pm, at Stratford Methodist Church, New Room. All welcome, and hope to see you there!

Being reliable is more important than being frequent – if buses don’t come regularly, they need to be reliable! #bustrated #buses #publictransport @warwickshirecc.bsky.social @stratforddc.bsky.social @mp4stratford.bsky.social @bettertransport.bsky.social

Embracing e-waste recycling could lead to a future where tech is continuously repurposed, minimizing landfill impact and promoting sustainability. Let's make it the norm! #futurism

Why don’t people use buses more? It’s a rural area (and Stratford’s good for walking). But what are the solutions? #bustrated #buses #publictransport @warwickshirecc.bsky.social @stratforddc.bsky.social @mp4stratford.bsky.social @bettertransport.bsky.social

E-Waste week correction! On 14th, 16th and 18th October you'll be able to drop off old and unwanted #waste tech at our Climate Hub between 10am and 4pm. Working in partnership with @stratforddc.bsky.social and Biffa .

The dates for the opening of the Climate Hub at 30 Meer St are actually 14th, 16th and 18th October. The Hub is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and most Saturdays from 10am to 4pm, staffed by volunteers

Norah's Ark is a play about sea level rise, #ClimateChange and how we will deal with these issues. Playwright @lancewoodman.bsky.social has more information about the play and how you can get involved on his web site: www.lancewoodman.co.uk/playsdet/nor...

This event is on 5th November 2025 - just pop along to the Town Hall in the centre of #StratfordUponAvon for free #energy advice and bill help.

Some of the people we hear from would like to use buses more but don’t. When you have to use them, the frustration is much more intense. #bustrated #buses #publictransport @warwickshirecc.bsky.social @stratforddc.bsky.social @mp4stratford.bsky.social

There are a few places left for our November #CarbonLiteracy course (October one is already fully booked!). This is being held at Royal Shakespeare Theatre on 7th and 13th November. See the EventBrite link below for details: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/carbon-lit...

An @actonenergy.bsky.social "Into the Warmth" event in Stratford-upon-Avon Town Hall, Sheep Street, CV37 6EF A selection of local organisations who can help you with energy issues. Bring along your energy bills for the bill clinic, grant eligibility check, benefits check and so much more!

We will be meeting for our AGM this Wednesday 8th October, at 7:30 pm in the New Room at the Methodist Church Centre, Old Town, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 6BG. All are welcome - you don't need to have been involved with our projects before to come along and find out what we do and join in!

The give-and-take stall at the #RepairCafe in the Methodist church hall is a book exchange this month. Drop off your books and/or pick something to read on a wet Autumn evening!

Thanks to Chris and Alistair of The Butterfly Garden for showing us round their recycling facilities. We were very impressed by the huge number of videotapes recycled, and by all the other activities on offer (music, gardening, cooking, acting!) #Community #Recycling #Inclusivity #WasteManagement

It might be wet and windy, with the Autumn nights drawing in, but we've got plenty on that you can get involved with in #StratfordUponAvon in #October. #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #RepairCafe #CarbonLiterate #EnergyEfficiency #WasteManagement

One of members, Janet, visited The Butterfly Garden near Cheltenham to see how they recycle old videotapes! Videotapes have to be broken up and the bits sorted by volunteers, then removed by the #waste company. Looking to help bring something similar to #StratfordUponAvon. @stratforddc.bsky.social

This Very Light Rail (VLR) vehicle is interesting, especially as TDI's office is in Meer Street in #StratfordUponAvon, a few doors down from our @suaclimate.bsky.social Climate Hub. I wonder if they let railway/climate nerds pop in for a chat? #railways #transport www.youtube.com/watch?v=nebN...

Tomorrow is the first Saturday of the month, which means is time for the next #RepairCafe in #StratfordUponAvon! Bring your broken things to the Methodist church hall in Old Town between 10am and 2pm to see if our volunteers can fix them for you. Repairs are free, but we welcome donations.

Let’s recognise bus service improvements when we see them – especially when they come from council pressure #bustrated #peoplepower #buses #publictransport @warwickshirecc.bsky.social @stratforddc.bsky.social @mp4stratford.bsky.social @bettertransport.bsky.social

Some bus routes are better than others, but the same problems occur on all of them. Let us know your experiences to help us campaign for better services. #bustrated #buses #publictransport @warwickshirecc.bsky.social @stratforddc.bsky.social @mp4stratford.bsky.social @bettertransport.bsky.social

Reminder: Every Friday 5-7pm there is a Community Kitchen event at the Ken Kennett Centre in #StratfordUponAvon. A pay-as-you-feel meal cooked by local chefs with food that would otherwise go to waste. Bring a doggy bag to take some home too!

Apparently his bus was cancelled on the way home too. If you didn’t laugh you’d cry. #bustrated #buses #publictransport @warwickshirecc.bsky.social @stratforddc.bsky.social @mp4stratford.bsky.social @bettertransport.bsky.social

Cash-strapped Councils are reluctant to price car parks to a point that would increase bus use. Why not make buses free, like in Luxemburg? #bustrated #buses #publictransport @warwickshirecc.bsky.social @stratforddc.bsky.social @mp4stratford.bsky.social @bettertransport.bsky.social

The Stratford Town Trust are running a Community Swap & Sell event this Sunday 10am-2pm at the Crowne Plaza hotel. This includes a "mini repair cafe" looking at bikes and sharpening just scissors & secateurs. Also upcycling talks and a plant swap. Free entry or £8 if you want a stall.

Others are calling for electronic information displays on each bus stop. Share your views and help us campaign for better buses. #bustrated #buses #publictransport @warwickshirecc.bsky.social @stratforddc.bsky.social @mp4stratford.bsky.social @bettertransport.bsky.social

Imagine if you got sacked because of the buses! A good bus service is vital national infrastructure. Public services need investment not penny-pinching. #bustrated #buses #publictransport @warwickshirecc.bsky.social @stratforddc.bsky.social @mp4stratford.bsky.social @bettertransport.bsky.social

As well as the #RepairCafe at the Methodist church hall there's the regular "give-n-take" stall. This month it is themed for clothes so come and swap your togs! 10am to 2pm.
