Transition Towns groups are listed here: https://transitiongroups.org/search-groups/?country=gb

The coverage area of each group is not explicitly defined, but we could take a guess from their name / location. Would probably require manual classification – if we assume 30 seconds per group, for 330 groups, that’s just under 3 hours’ work.

We could contact Mike at Transition Together (who we know via our NLCF Growing Great Ideas cohort) to see whether TT has any better data on coverage areas?

Transition Network got in touch with us over December, to let us know they have an API for group data, which includes locations: https://maps.transitionnetwork.org/api/

eg: https://maps.transitionnetwork.org/wp-json/cds/v1/initiatives/?country=GB&per_page=999 gets you all 299 groups in the UK.

If/when we import this, we should let Sam and Mike at Transition Network know.

Import Transition Network groups
b173c20 
Closes #389.

I would have loved to use our json config-based importer for this,
but it doesn’t handle group imports yet, and modifying it to inherit
from BaseConstituencyGroupListImportCommand rather than
BaseImportFromDataFrameCommand was beyond the scope of this ticket.
