In our Autumn/Winter 09 Newsletter we featured stories from three allotments associations that have installed alternative energy on their sites. These stories can be found using the links below. We hope these examples will inspire you to get going with your own plans!  

• Spa Hill Allotment Society, Croydon have installed a wind turbine,
  
• Narborough and Littlethorpe Leisure Gardeners' Association have installed a solar panel on their site's porta-cabin, and
• Lidgett Lane Allotments in Leeds have installed a pole-mounted solar panel.

Energy Saving Trust Green Communities Service

Gives community groups an opportunity to host their own Green Communities course. Green Communities courses can cover project planning and delivery of a community energy project, energy efficiency, sustainable energy use and renewable energy technologies, how to conduct energy audits for community buildings and old or listed buildings, funding a community energy project, and how to get involved with the local authority planning process.
