The Transition Bath movement launched it’s own local currency this week – the   Bath Oliver. The idea is to get more local currency exchange staying in the local economy and also to enable people to sell and share skills and services. Already several local businesses have signed up to taking Olivers.  Indeed the Bell in Walcot street has agreed to take 100% olivers when buying drinks in the pub.

At the launchThe Council Chair Cllr Sarah Bevan gave out a small amount of Olivers to everyone attending the event.
