A new scheme for Nottingham has seen the introduction of ‘talking’ lamp posts, benches, railings and even bins as part of a climate change project. Passers by will be able to interact with street furniture across Nottingham by scanning a QR code or texting the number shown on them.
This will allow them to engage in a two-way conversation about climate change via text, Whatsapp or Facebook Messenger.
Nottingham City Council and the University of Nottingham, along with research company Hello Lamp Post have partnered up to gather views on what climate change means for local residents. Local residents who came across a set of the 'talking railings' in Highfields Park described the scheme as 'interesting'.
