Co-Wheels Go Hastings

Transition Town Hastings recently promoted Co-Wheels, the only independently owned national car club, providing low emission, hybrid and electric cars on a pay-as-you-go basis for organisations and communities across the UK. Local resident, Barbara Rogers, is involved with the Hastings branch of Co-Wheels and HOT’s Zelly Restorick asked her some questions about how the system works.

What does it involve? 

Explore The Arch is a series of playful, inquisitive and experiential evenings in celebration of days less ordinary.  The first of four events takes place on 25 January, as part of Burns Night, and again on 26 January.

Erica Smith donned her sporan and went to meet the instigator of this extraordinary interactive event.
