Amid growing climate, energy and financial crises, a strong and resilient local economy is essential to help us meet our basic needs  locally, support local enterprise,  create local  employment,  keep currency circulating locally, create parallel systems of exchange in case the money system tightens or falters, to allow us to trade locally on foot and by bike, to diversify our economy and support ourselves and our neighbours.

The Transition Valley 473 Local Economy Group is a new group forming to explore how best to keep our local economy strong and resilient.
