Shenstone Heat Network Project
Find out more on July 16th
The Shenstone Heat Network outline business case is now nearing completion and all Shenstone residents are invited to have the conclusions explained during the afternoon and evening of Wednesday 16th July.
Funded by the Government, commissioned by Shenstone Parish Council and Lichfield District Council, the project work has been undertaken by decarbonisation specialists HI Group who have examined the physical works required, the costs to homeowners and the operational management of a low-carbon heating system for Shenstone village.
The project has assessed whether a heat network powered by the aquifer beneath Shenstone could offer a more sustainable and viable alternative to traditional heating for both homes and businesses.
On 16th July, two presentation sessions will be held
at the Richard Cooper Room, Main St, Shenstone,
at 2pm and 6.30pm.
Each 30 – 40 minute presentation will be followed by a question and answer session for you to ask individual questions and share your views.
This is a valuable chance for all residents to understand the options being considered and what that might mean for the future of heating in Shenstone. Whether you own or rent your home or run a local business you will find the presentations very informative.
The next generation is also getting involved. In June, Year 6 pupils at Greysbrooke Primary School will take part in a special activity day led by HI Group. Using creative workshops and hands-on teamwork, the children will explore sustainability and design their version of a low carbon ‘School of the Future’.
Deputy Head Teacher Dan Rowlands has kindly offered to display the children’s projects at the July 16th presentation sessions giving everyone a chance to see the inspiring ideas our young people have come up with.
We hope to see you during the afternoon and evening of Wednesday 16th July whether you’re curious about what a heat network could mean for heating your home or if you simply want to find out more about how Shenstone can play its part in a more sustainable future. Refreshments will be provided for all attendees.
