Village to build low carbon sports facilities

Ashton Hayes Carbon Neutral Project has secured funding under DECC's LCCC programme to build one of the UK's first low carbon sports buildings on the community purchased recreation field, in the centre of the community. Plans are being finalised with the Ashton Hayes Sports & Recreation Association but the highly insulated building will also have PV and solar water heating panels on its roof which will contribute to the power and heat for changing rooms and the community owned electric vehicle - a Nissan Leaf, due for delivery shortly. More soon.
