The Parish Councillors each spoke briefly on the current status of their individual parish plans.   To read the minutes, just follow this link.

What is a Carbon Footprint?  How big are your "Carbon Feet"?  How does this effect you?  Dr Ashley Tucker, Senior Gateway Editor from the Herefordshire Council spoke at our GVEG meeting in January.   The Council has developed a Carbon Calculator on their website which calculates individual carbon usage.  Please click on this link  Calculate Your Footprint  and complete the survey.  Your input will help the Council compile an average for each parish.  

Here are some Herefordshire village statistics based on individual households who have entered their carbon details into the Carbon Calculator.  
NB:  The carbon footprint for each village will be more accurate, if more individuals complete the Carbon Calculator Survey.  Here is a sample of a few graphs to date.
