The market town of Faversham has over 500 listed buildings, a manufacturing tradition going back hundreds of years and a community spirit built over many generations. Yet it exists in a competitive, connected, hi-tech world which has faced challenges such as the decline of oil and global competition.

This week the residents of Faversham got the chance to quiz the Home Planet team on these and many other issues. What should an English market town do to reduce its carbon emissions? What will be the impact of the Localism Bill, currently going through the House of Lords? And does living in an historic place make you happy?

On the panel this week are conservation architect and heritage campaigner John Sell; ecologist Dr Lynn Dicks of Cambridge University and Professor Philip Stott, an environmental scientist from the University of London.

The programme is presented by Richard Daniel.
