Now in Association with

Ashton Hayes Community Energy CIC

Located in rural Cheshire, Ashton Hayes is a well knit community of about 1000 people that is aiming to become England's first carbon neutral community. We started our journey in January 2006 and since then we have already cut our carbon dioxide emissions significantly - by working together, sharing ideas and through behavioural change. We now have our community owned renewable energy company.

This website encapsulates our journey towards carbon neutrality and offers free advice and guidance. Please feel free to use anything from our website (we'd like a credit if you can).

Mary Gillie explains the ideas for the microgrid to a packed hall Left to right: Mary, Roy, Garry, Steve, Ged, Laura count the votes over a beer at the golden lion 
We were delighted with the turnout to our public meeting last week. Around 100 people filled the hall of the Primary School to hear about the project, this year's carbon survey and progress on the community shop project and new renewable heating system for the school. Thanks to Head, Rob Ford, for allowing us to use the school, the guys from Leapfrog who came up from London and to everyone who helped to make the evening a success. We also asked people to 'vote' on whether we should go ahead and find out more about building a microgrid and had a 45:1 vote in favour of the idea.
