Correction

Some of you may have read a report in today's edition of the Chronicle regarding an event I'm helping to organise on Monday 7th April at Trafford hall. The article mistakenly refers to the Ashton Hayes Going Carbon Neutral Project.
I would like to make it clear that although I live in Ashton Hayes I have no formal connection to the Going Carbon Neutral Project and apologise to the Parish Council for any confusion their implied involvement may have caused. No mention of Ashton Hayes Parish Council was made in the press release sent to the Chronicle or to other media in the North West region. The event is a joint collaboration between several North West Agencies, including the Ash-worth Time Bank. Residents of Ashton Hayes will be attending to share their personal experiences of living in the village.
I work for the recently formed Low Carbon Communities Network - you can read more about it on my personal blog http://lowcarbondiary.wordpress.com
Monday's event is fully booked and we have a waiting list for cancellations. I'll write a full report here next week.
Among the participants will be a representative of Tiverton Village Hall committee which has installed solar panels on the roof of the building. I'm looking forward to hearing more stories from communities that have taken positive steps to reduce their impact on the environment.
Let me know what your community has been up to - or what kind of support your community would like to start the journey towards a future less reliant on fossil fuels.
