This event went very well with turn out of 30 including some new faces.   A great thank you to Jim , William and Neil who talked us through the whole gamet of sustainable energy options for communities and households which stimulated an interesting debate at the end of the evening about what might be possible in Liskeard and the surrounding areas.    

There was a definite move from the people at the meeting towards more action and we agreed that a response to the Liskeard Town Plan consultation from the transition group was a good next step in the short term.  

A response will has been drafted by Bill with input of the group. 

The other action discussed was for liskeard residents to lobby Caradon  about the type of heating systems proposed for the extra care centre to be built on the Passmore Edwards Hospital site. 

 Finally the future BIG PLANS ...... Neil's inspired talk on community energy projects linked to the soon to launch New Cornwall Community Energy company (or whatever it gets called !)  showed how the funding and the will to make community based energy projects work. If any local groups can think of suitable community/ public buildings or opportunities for community led energy projects then get your group to contact Community Energy Plus and  help make it happen.

We are showing this film on the 11^th January at Liskerrett in Liskeard, 19:30.

This film tells the story of how our civilization’s addiction to oil puts it on a collision course with geology. Compelling, intelligent, and highly entertaining, the film visits with the world’s top experts and comes to a startling, but logical conclusion – our industrial society, built on cheap and readily available oil, must be completely re-imagined and overhauled.
