It's #TuesdayaboutTown! This week, we're digitally dropping by SLOTH... no, not that kind of sloth 🙈 The Stroud Library of Things is perfect for anyone planning DIY or drinks over the warmer weekends to come - you can borrow anything from power tools to party kit! 🎉 #stroud
SLOTH is a grassroots lending library for the Stroud community, supported by Stroud Funding and hosted at 10 John Street by @cscicorg 🤝 John Street also hosts mobile device repair workshops, digital support sessions, and the Access @BikeStroud project 🚲
Feeling summer in the air? Us too! And what better way to spend get midsummer-ready than by tuning up the old two-wheeler for more sunny days to come? 🌤️ That's why we took this #TuesdayaboutTown to pay a virtual visit to the Cambridge Cycling Campaign, also known as @camcycle...

For more info on CamCycle campaigns and discounts, you can drop in on them at their pub social on 3rd June or at the @ArburyCarnival, Chesterton Festival, or Histon & Impington Feast, taking place over the rest of the month 🎪
What did everyone get up to on their bank holiday weekend? 🌦️ We took an extra day this #TuesdayaboutTown to check out the awesome work over at @YorkTogether, a community group tackling social injustice across the city – making it a better place for everyone who lives there 🏙️

At the end of the evening, all community members can vote on which proposal they think should be prioritised – funds from tickets sales are distributed among the projects accordingly 🗳️
This #TuesdayaboutTown, why not make the most of the spring sunshine and head outside? 🌤️ So, let's pay a virtual visit to Avon Views, a @RootsAllotments site in Bathford: the original no-dig allotment that kick-started Roots' mission to make gardening more accessible! 👩🌾

It is #WebNewsday, my dudes! The Webs keep coming & they don't stop coming... Last week it was Carmarthen, this week it's Stroud 🐸 Gloucestershire is home to a great many climate action networks, including Berkeley Vale, Chalford, Dursley, Horsley... 🤯 Not to mention @TTStroud!
ALT A newspaper is outlined against a the backdrop of a green bus in Stroud. The paper is titled "The Web Weekly", with the tagline "It Is Web-News-Day, My Dudes!". A picture of the Gloucester Co-Operative in Stroud is depicted on the newspaper along with a picture of a frog, and a notification bell with the number 1.
