The Centre for Sustainable Energy are a charity partnering with Wiltshire Council and Bath and West Community Energy on a project aimed at starting conversations with people about renewable energy (namely solar farms and wind turbines). They are interested in involving local people in discussions about different energy options and how they could benefit their community.
They would like residents to share their thoughts about renewable energy and how it could benefit the local community by completing the following Survey:
The survey will close on Friday 10 October.
What is this survey?
A pilot project is running in Wiltshire with six communities, to start conversations about renewable energy, including how it could be owned by and benefit of local people. This project is funded by the Energy Industry Voluntary Redress Scheme.
On 3 July 2025, the Centre for Sustainable Energy, Bath and West Community Energy, Corsham Climate Action, and Wiltshire Council hosted a workshop for local people in Corsham. A report with more information about the workshop is available here. This survey is a follow up from that workshop to find out what the views of the wider community are.
How will the findings be used?
A report for Corsham will be made from the survey findings to share the community’s thoughts about renewables. If there are places where the community wants to look into renewable projects, we will work with you to develop these through further conversations, meetings, and technical evidence. By completing this survey you are not committing to anything.
Lacock Community Orchard
Located on Nethercote Hill, the orchard is maintained by residents for residents. It is also valuable resource for the School and Wise Owls nursery to get close to nature, and plans are afoot for the Lacock Beavers and Cubs to make more use of the space.
All this does require volunteers to help maintain it. Work groups are held every second Saturday of the month, and we welcome as much or as little help as you can offer. The latest project is to build a raised bed from some sleepers kindly donated by one of our residents, for Wise Owls to use as a vegetable patch.
For more information please see the Orchard Page, under Village facilities, or contact simon.wise@lacockparishcouncil.gov.uk
