The Ashton Hayes Going Carbon Neutral Project is a community-led initiative that is aimed at making Ashton Hayes the first carbon neutral community in England. Since January 2006 carbon dioxide emissions have been reduced by 23% as a result of the community working together, sharing ideas and through behaviour change. They are about to start work on a community owned renewable energy power station.
They are holding an open day on Saturday 9 May to show what they have achieved since their project began in 2006. Please get in touch if you would like more information: transitionwilmslow@gmail.com
