conducted in May. The 2020 Vision report identifies seven areas for action: community/local food/walking and cycling/green jobs/home working/energy and the natural environment. Action is already in progress with the Alton Repair Café and Community Share (at present for toys, games and books) and will in due course evolve into a “Library of Things”.
