The background....

We have recently begun a Trafford Partnership-funded project in West Timperley to encourage people to live greener lives in the community.

The project is following on from 2010’s Timperley Green Homes projects which aimed to raise awareness of the risk of flooding in the local area.

Timperley is a suburb of Greater , located in the north east of Altrincham.  Around 11000 people live here. The village dates back to 1211 and was largely agricultural until the Industrial Revolution. There are several parks and green spaces in the village along with a number of sports clubs. The Bridgewater canal passes through Timperley and it has several brooks.   Metrolink passes through the village linking it to and Altrincham. 

Natural systems are self-sustaining and have been throughout history. Today, our ever growing population is creating conditions that may threaten the long-term health and welfare of the vital biological systems on which our lives depend.  There is a growing body of evidence to support this.
