There are several groups in Abbots Langley that are working towards a more sustainable and resilient community. Some of these were started, and are supported, by Abbots in Transition.
There are also a large variety of other local groups which contribute towards the thriving nature of the village, which can be found on the Parish Council web pages.
Abbots in Transition is part of the wider Transition Network, and several of our nearby towns and villages are also members and have interesting projects and ideas.
