| The People's Emergency - film, free, 27.5.2026 Posted by grahame at 05:24, 27th May 2026 |     |
If you happen to be in Melksham this evening ...
Travel and Transport account for a high proportion of our greenhouse gas generation, and we do well to consider the effect of that on our ongoing environment - what we leave for our children and grandchildren.
In Melksham, and across much of The West, our trains and buses remain fossil fuelled. Now that's far better than us all taking individual petrol or diesel vehicles - for energy use, congestion, and indeed the exclusive financial and medical nature that limits who can drive. However - still an issue to be considered.
Promoted for the Melksham Environment Group - full flyer at https://mkmeg.org.uk/peb.pdf - other screenings un the area:
10th June - Trowbridge Old Town Hall
11th June - Warminster Athenaeum
26th June - Market Lavington Community Hall

sounds a worthwhile cause. Do they propose any sensible solutions to the many problems we face.

For some strange and inexplicable reason, I do indeed happen to be in Melksham this evening.
I'll be at the film viewing, dispensing some excellently produced public transport related timetable brochures to anyone else who is there, as well as watching the film.
Melksham Assembly Hall is just behind the Town Hall, on Market Place.
Chris from Melksham.

Don't know ... hoping to get a report
. I went up to Devizes on the bus to see the film there, but it was "booked attendees only" and full, and I was turned away at the door, then last night's showing in Melksham was organised after the trip away I'm currently on. The Melksham Environment Group had use of the huge Assembly Hall and I can't imagine there was a capacity issue here; traction on marketing was less than gripping, and the date chosen clashed with the Area Board which is required attendance for unitary councillors and other movers and shakers too.| Re: The People's Emergency - film, free, 27.5.2026 Posted by grahame at 04:32, 29th May 2026 | |

. ...Two shareable reports ...
Went to filming last night.
Everyone needs to see this

and
Heartffelt thanks to those who helped with publicity and with last night. It was such a relief that we got 30 people watching + 7/9 of our members and MP +2 staff.
Background to that last comment ... as a free event with no need to register, our chair had been concerned that we would have an empty hall. The concern was compounded when a number of the key movers and shakers who should have been attracted had a prior scheduled (Melksham Area Board) meeting
