Dott Projects
| Urban Farming | |

|
| During the summer and autumn of 2007, thousands of people living and working in Middlesbrough participated in a project to increase local food production and reduce food miles. Along the way, young, old, rich and poor worked together, growing food and realising new relationships with local food producers and existing growers in the town and its surrounding area. Their goal has been to pioneer a new sustainable future – not just for Middlesbrough, but also other post-industrial communities across the UK. |

| Move Me | |
|
|
| The Move Me project centred on Scremerston First School in Northumberland. Three miles from Berwick, this small school is a daily hub for 42 children and 34 families. It also has 11 members of staff, including full- and part-time teachers, cleaning, catering and janitorial staff, and is led by an enthusiastic head teacher, Helen Harrison, who was keen for the school to be fully involved in the project. The school’s many and varied transport needs made it an excellent test case for Dott 07. The project looked at the school community’s mobility needs and explored how they could be better served by combining existing services in smarter ways. |
