Welcome to the GEAG Website

Gamlingay Environmental Action Group (GEAG) is a group of Gamlingay residents who share a love of the natural world but who are concerned about the damage that is being done to the environment — here and around the world.


Latest News: Lupin Field Protected

3 June 2013 - South Cambridgeshire District Council has published parts of the draft Local Plan. These show that the Lupin Field will be designated as a Local Green Space, effectively giving it the same protection as green belt land. At the same time, they confirm that the brownfield Green End site is the only major development site being considered in the village, with space for businesses and 90 new homes. This is very good news for Gamlingay, meaning that local jobs will be protected while the village will grow at a sensible, moderate pace. Click here for more details...

 

GEAG campaigns locally and nationally for real change on a wide range of issues, from energy and climate change, through transport and planning, to nature and conservation. We organise regular talks, green days, film showings, bike rides, and debates here in Gamlingay, open free of charge to everyone in the village and surrounding areas.

Events are normally held at 8.00pm on the third Wednesday of each month at the Gamlingay EcoHub. They are friendly and enjoyable - and we usually go for a drink at the Cock afterwards, so feel free to join us! Details of our next event are below. We hope to see you very soon!

Next Event: 15 June: The Third Annual Bike Week Bike Ride

It is that time of year again to shake the dust off your bicycle, pump up your tyres, oil your chains and to join GEAG to celebrate national bike week on Saturday 15th June. This year we are offering two free, fun and leisurely bike routes so there should be something that appeals to everyone. The shorter five mile route includes a section off-road. The longer seventeen mile route is undulating and follows mainly quiet country roads. Both routes offer stunning views of the Gamlingay Community Turbine. Starting at 10:30 am from the Eco Hub, the rides should be finished by lunch time. Dr Bike will be available from around 10:00am if you would like to give your bike a check before setting off.

Time and Venue: Meet at 10am in the car park of the Gamlingay EcoHub, Stocks Lane, Gamlingay, SG19 3JR.

For more information, contact sarahsanders@onetel.com. Entrance Free, All Welcome, Bring your friends, See you there!
