Wiltshire and Swindon Green Open Homes starts next month 9th to 17th November. Why not book a visit to see a local Chippenham resident who's installed an energy saving improvement, and see if it could work for you?

Our Air Quality statistics are in for September 24. It's interesting to see just how Rowden Hill air quality deteriorated during the traffic queues caused by the A4 temporary traffic lights. PM2.5 particulate pollution reached ten times WHO limits. zerochippenham.org/2024/10/0…

Good to see fellow CTC councillor Gemma Grimes quoted in the Guardian today in her role as Director of Policy at Solar UK

Well, as I was the ward councillor at the centre of the traffic chaos, and, I run the ZC Air Quality monitoring, the Wood Lane monitor was at the centre of the traffic chaos. So yes I used the stats as part of efforts to stop traffic diverting...
Our July - August air quality stats are in with a focus on Wood Lane and the traffic increase caused by the London Road closures. Our Wood lane Air quality monitor was at the geographical centre of the diversion controversy...

Wiltshire Conservatives should be ashamed at the quality of their debate yesterday. At one point a Conservative councillor recited Jerusalem in a farmer's accent, and apparently he's on the environmental select committee! Thank goodness an election's been called!
Council to ask government to 'spread out' solar farms bbc.in/3Kdcgd6
This campaign is completely against the government's own policy. Here's why James Gray MP and @michelledonelan should be supporting solar. Showing leadership. imperfectsustainability.co.u…
Grateful to campaigners against solar installations across the country for coming to Parliament Sq to protest against the loss of agricultural land and threat to food security from solar. Big thank you to @AndrewBowie_MP for coming out and listening to campaigners concerns.
It's Earth Day today. There's been a huge campaign against the proposed Lime Down Solar park. I explain why I absolutely support the Lime Down Solar park and why we have no choice but to rapidly roll out renewables across Wiltshire.
