Transition Town Bentley meet every second Tuesday of the month at Bentley Baptist Church (Askern Road Bentley, Doncaster DN5 0EW – please use rear door) at 7pm. We have a mixture of practical and planning events suitable for people of all ages.
Incredible Edible Doncaster (North) is an initiative started by Transition Town Bentley which hopes to repeat the success of Incredible Edible Todmorden in order to benefit the people of the North Doncaster Corridor. The group has been inspired by Todmorden’s 10 Point Plan…
- Build schools for the future that have the living edible world at their heart.
- Transform health buildings with edible plants and trees as an integral part of the design and workplace.
- All public bodies to release land for food growing.
- Plan for food – Support local food production through the planning system with all local plans identifying places for growing.
- Tick all the boxes – Make growing a performance indicator for ‘wellbeing’ for all Public Services.
- Insist all new homes to have ready-to-grow spaces.
- All social landlords to allocate space for growing.
- Charter for truly local markets – support local food producers and farmers and campaign for the reallocation of subsidies.
- Make sure public bodies like schools and health authorities have as a priority to procure local food.
- Invest in food skills for the future. We need incredible degrees and diplomas, cooks and technologists, farmers and fabulous food producers.
