Two New Groups

In December two new FOE local groups were established, both as it happens in Worcestershire. Malvern FOE are working on slower speeds and safety issues and campaigning to establish a cycle route from Malvern to Upton upon Severn. More is available on website www.malvern-cycleway.org.uk. The group hopes to raise FOE's profile in and around the town by a variety of methods including electronic networking, socials and informal campaign-led meetings.
Meanwhile, attending B'ham FOE Monday evening meetings and missing the last train home, Alistair Waugh and Simon Venables decided that forming a local group in Redditch might be a better option. A meeting was arranged in the Knowledge Cafe on December 12th to which 10 people turned up and all expressed an interest in doing something in the local area- Redditch FOE was up and walking! There have been a further couple of meetings and issues on the agenda include waste, pollution and factory watch.
So good luck to both Malvern FOE and Redditch FOE in their campaigns for 2002.
