Kent Community Owned Energy - Canterbury Meetings 17/18 January



Help tackle the climate emergency, bring more money into our local area and improve life for people who live and work here.

The Centre for Sustainable Energy would like to invite you to come and find out more about an opportunity to get involved in Community Energy in Kent. Hear about what community energy groups across the country are doing and how you could help bring a 5 MW solar farm into community ownership. It’s a great opportunity to bring over £1million investment into our local area, and there’s plenty of support available to make it happen. Please see the attached leaflet for more information.

When: Friday 17th January, 1-3pm or Saturday 18th January 10:30am-12:30pm


Or call to book your place on 01179 341400 (ask for the communities team).

New Year's Day Deal Beach Clean


Deal With It - Deal's local green community group - held its first community beach clean on New Year's Day. 

Over 75 people volunteered their time and in little over an hour collected some 80kgs of rubbish was collected.


During 2019 the group ran 15 Beach Cleans which collected over 584kilos of rubbish and involved some 764 volunteers who donated 1502 hours of work to the community & our beach.


The next community clean will again be at Deal Pier on Sunday 2nd February starting at 10am. This clean is part of a national survey of the UK's beaches run by the Marine Conservation Society
