News & Developments

The Committee were delighted to welcome so many residents and visitors to the consultation event. They knew it would be busy because the public engagement with this project has been excellent from the very start, but even so couldn't have predicted that so many people would turn out in support. It just goes to show how important a new playground is to this Village.

They showed people 5 competing designs and asked them to pick their top 3 ranked in order of preference. They also invited written comments on any aspect of the designs or the project in general.

It is too early to say which design or designs came out on top, but all of the public votes and comments will be taken in to account in the final phase. It is hoped that a winning bid and finalised design will be selected by the end of the month and construction started soon after.  All being well the works will be finished by mid-July in time for the School summer holidays.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to build a truly low energy house? Or how you’d go about making your home more environmentally secure, without spending the earth? Maybe you’re a property development professional, or are interested in ‘self-build’ or, like most of us, have a home you’d like to improve yourself.

Colin has been involved for many years in the design and construction of houses which are economic to build, very cheap to run and don’t hurt the planet. He was profiled recently in The Guardian for his work, which includes his own family home in Merseyside. Colin is also a source of much useful information about how to make changes to existing homes to ensure they have a low(er) energy and carbon footprint, and are economical to run and comfortable to live in.   

Colin is aiming to provide plenty of advice about what’s best to do, and in what order, whether you’re looking to spend £500 or £500,000. He will set out the key things to consider, but is keen also to answer questions his audience might have.
