Sidmouth Science Festival >>> Transport choices and Electric cars >>> Sunday 7th October

How can we cope as a seaside resort with the increasing number of tourists?
Futures Forum: The West country struggling to cope with tourists

We need some better thinking and some better solutions:
Futures Forum: How green are electric vehicles?
Futures Forum: Co-cars - the hire by the hour car club for Exeter and the South West > a not for profit co-operative social enterprise

Later this afternoon, the Science Festival looks at the issues:
