On 18th November we had an excellent presentation from Martin Giles all about our local online newpaper the Guildford Dragon - thanks for everyone who attended. The Guildford Dragon is the ideal place to find out all the news about the area so it was very interesting to hear how it all started. See below for photos of this and other recent events...

Burpham Air Pollution Community Workshop review
|
Do you worry about the impact the heavy traffic through Burpham has on air quality? The Burpham Community Association (BCA) has been working with Professor Kumar and his Global Centre for Clean Air Research team at Surrey University and we have already recorded some interesting results.
We hosted a workshop on air pollution on Saturday 12th January in the Village Hall. It started with a very informative presentation from Professor Kumar on the different kinds of air pollution and the effects they can have. Then we looked at ways we can mitigate the damage. Thanks to Professor Kumar and his fantastic team from Surrey University GCARE team for such an interesting morning. We still have some pollution sensors in key areas of Burpham so if you would like to find out more then please contact our secretary (secretary@burphamca.org.uk) |
