SUMMARY:Future Energy Landscapes Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A happy New Year!  \nOur Future Energy Landscapes Workshop is just over 2 weeks away. We’d love you to join us\, tickets are free and booked through the Eventbrite link on this page… \nhttps://esd.energy/events/future-energy-landscapes/ \nHere at SWaCS one of our team had a leaflet posted through his letterbox and those of his neighbours from two primary aged children worried about climate change and asking what the adults were doing about it. \nWith this in mind and feeling a bit challenged\, we’re extending an invitation to our local communities to join us in a conversation about community energy. What is it? What might it look like here? And\, most importantly\, how it could impact our carbon usage by switching from fossil fuels to renewables.  \nAll these questions and more will be answered at the Future Energy Landscapes workshop run for us by Energise South Downs\, a non-profit that sets up community energy projects in this area.

SUMMARY:Save Our Tips Protest
DESCRIPTION:Many residents are concerned about plans to shut tips across Hampshire.\n\n\n\nOn Monday 14th October\, Hampshire County Council will be making the decision about whether they close our local tips.\n\n\n\nWe know that the combined effect of plans to close tips in Alresford\, Bishop’s Waltham and Fair Oak will be a disaster for our communities.\n\nThis will force local people to make longer journeys\, impacting the environment\, and only lead to more fly-tipping and less recycling.\n\nThe protest will take place outside the Bishop’s Waltham tip on Claylands Road at midday Saturday 12th Oct.\n\n\nThe protest is being organised by Jonathan Williams\, City Councillor\, Bishop’s Waltham \n\n\nImage credit: Hampshire HWRC
