TEDxGrantham, Edith Smith, and Grantham’s Case for Ideas Worth Spreading
The article explains why TEDxGrantham can draw strong ideas from a town rather than a capital, using Edith Smith’s policing in Grantham and local agri-food innovation as examples of how community history and practical change can shape wider thinking.
Grantham, Agriculture, and the Future of Resilience
The article explains how agriculture, especially soil management, is tied to resilience in Grantham. It shows how healthier soils can help farms cope with drought, flooding and climate stress, and why local land use, food systems and community planning all matter to future resilience.
Regeneration that changes how a town centre is used
The article explains how small changes in Grantham’s Market Place and St Peter’s Hill, such as seating, power access and better paths, can make the town centre easier to use for markets, events and everyday visits, and how heritage places like St Wulfram’s fit into that wider change.
