On Wednesday February 8th, there was a meeting in the Commuity Space to discuss a small scale solar farm for Littlehempston. This was as a follow up to a meeting held last October and detailed in Can Littlehempston generate its own power? Nick Oldridge, our Parish councillor who heads up Sustainable Littlehempton, gave a PowerPoint presentation showing the twenty potential sites that he had identified in and around the Parish.
Since this meeting, Sustainable Littlehempston has submitted four potential sites for the Power Allotments, Devon project. If successful this could enable our community to build a small solar farm that would generate enough electricity for 400 houses and raise income for community projects every year. More news to follow in the coming weeks.
