Village buildings set to go carbon neutral by 2022.

An independent steering group was formed to develop a community-wide scheme to make all buildings in carbon neutral by 2022. The project hoped to inspire residents – and other nearby rural communities – to adopt more environmental behaviours through the installation of renewable energy systems, sharing best practice, being a trusted source of information. None of the organisations involved had any energy expertise or money to fund the project so receiving their feasibility grant from the Rural Communities Energy Fund was a fundamental step in delivering on their ambitions.
