Just came out of a Lunch N Learn....it was a good one. 

Did you know that Peterborough is a Sustainable Transport City?  Nigel Brigham from Sustrans told us about the results from the Travel Choice survey about sustainable transport use from 2004 to 2008.  When Travel Choice started the project, Peterborough was one of three cities to be chosen for data collection. 

Although there is a long way to go, of the three cities, Peterborough residents made the most change.  This is certainly one of the reasons we are on our way to becoming the UK's Environment Capital.

PECT runs Lunch-n-Learns as a fun and casual way to learn about different activities and sectors of the community.  We've had everything from a fellow member of staff giving us Access training, to Cllr Nick Sandford going over the ins and outs of Council decision making.  If you'd like to join us, they take place in our office, normally from 1-2 on a Monday or Tuesday. 

Upcoming topics: 

November 20th	The Easternangles play "Lincoln Road"
November 23rd	Scottish Widows - Talk about pensions
November 30th	Hugh Cripps talks about the history of PECT
December 8th	James Barker, member of the Chartered Institute of Waste Board
December 14th	Our very own Janine & Jill educating us on Recycling
January 26th	Jenna from PCC on "Your Footprint Counts"

If you you'd like to attend, send me an email.  It's casual, friendly, laid back learning.....don't forget your pack lunch!
