The Greenlinks event at The Courtyard recently was an exciting and encouraging event. Three hundred people attended and more than 50 groups, traders and companies displayed information about their wares and activities.

At this time, when it is becoming imperative that we begin to look for more sustainable and local ways of living, it is encouraging that there is so much local support here in Hereford.

While I had seen an article about the event in the Hereford Times, I have seen nothing after the event. It would be marvellous if our local paper would celebrate our community’s efforts to green up, go local and develop community resilience. Looking forward to seeing further great reporting.
