A community group has recently been formed to look into setting up a community energy project in our neighbouring parish of Bushton.
We are evaluating options for a community energy project as part of our Neighbourhood Plan but also recognise these can require a large number of members to get them funded and hence supporting this nearby effort may be worthwhile.
Details from the organisers are below. Join the online meeting to find out more.

A group chat led by Tony Currivan, drawing on the experience of our groups to explore the why, what, how, bumps in the road and benefits of many forms of community energy.
