THANK YOU!
One sunny October morning, a group of residents gathered to discuss a rather vital topic; the future of our village’s energy supply.
Dan Stone and Leah Bromley from the Centre for Sustainable Energy had driven up from Bristol to facilitate the workshop, which they did with skill and good humour. The session was organised by South Wonston Sustainability's Energy Group and kindly funded by grants from Winchester City Council and the Parish Council.
If you took part, I hope you enjoyed the session and found it interesting, perhaps even inspiring? Thank you for all you brought to this unique workshop; your attention, brain-power and goodwill … and some very original ideas! You helped make it all both enjoyable and successful.
I know many others had wanted to come but couldn’t. As promised, here is your chance to get involved.
As everyone who attended will know, there was high degree of consensus that renewable energy generation would be acceptable in the parish, providing it was of benefit to residents. It was surprising to learn just how much of our village’s energy needs could be met this way.
The next step is to report the outcomes of the workshop to the wider village and ask whether they agree.
If the wider village is in agreement with the outcomes of the workshop, it will definitely need more hands on deck to implement them but it will become increasingly important work and happily, there are now many examples by other villages and many well-established funding routes, which would make it much easier.
Alternatively, another ongoing project by the Energy Group which may interest you is helping residents reduce their energy use with a thermal imaging camera loan scheme.
Of Course, you may have ideas of your own to contribute, our future energy supply will affect all of us and everyone should have a say in it.
