Jubilee Eco Terrace



84 Jubilee Terrace is a council-owned property with a difference.
Built at the turn of the twentieth century, the family home has been refurbished using modern eco-friendly techniques. The house is being showcased as an example of what environmentally-friendly methods can be employed in an average city home to improve efficiency and save its occupants money

Open Days
The eco terrace is throwing its doors open so you can see what they've done to the house, and what you could do to your own home to make it warmer, cheaper to run and make it better for the environment.
The house is open on 13 April (9:30am - 4pm), 14 April (2 - 7pm) and 19 April (9:30am - 4pm).
 
If you’d like to know more about the project or the open days, email housing.corp.initiatives@portsmouthcc.gov.uk or call 023 9283 4729 to register for the project updates.

Portsmouth’s Favourite Trees



Do you know of an outstanding tree?

Portsmouth and Southsea Tree Wardens Would like to hear from you.

It may be particularly old or big for its species or it may have wildlife or landscape value. It could have been the centre of great events or linked to a famous person. It could even be rare. It does not have to be a native tree; it could be an exotic or even a fruit or hedgerow tree. The Den Haag Elm is a fine example on Southsea Common.

They would like to invite every Ward within the City, to nominate up to three favourite trees. They intend to publish a booklet of the chosen trees and possibly produce a calendar featuring twelve of these trees. Entries will be judged by a panel of experts.

This is a chance to recommend a tree of your choice and contribute to a local (and national) record.

To Tweet or not to Tweet?


An Introduction to Social Media and Social Networking

Are you looking for new ways to collaborate, communicate, share information and resources and engage new people to your voluntary group or organisation? Have you heard about social software tools such as Twitter and Facebook but never used them or been able to see how they could be useful to you or your organisation?

Come along to a hands-on practical workshop where you’ll have the opportunity to explore the potential of a number of tools such as Twitter, Skype, Youtube and Friendfeed.

The workshop will also consider the issues associated with using social software tools and look at practical steps that can be taken to minimise the risks.
