Neighbourhood Questionnaire

How can we make our homes more comfortable, reduce our energy bills and make greener choices?

What can we do to make the streets and community spaces more user friendly?

How can we create local green jobs and build community relationships through energy?

In Oldham Energy Futures, residents in Sholver and Westwood are working alongside energy experts to explore how transforming power, heat and transport can benefit local people.

Together we’ll create Local Energy Action Plans that spells out what kinds of changes to local energy would mean the most for the people of Sholver and Westwood.

Could you help us to shape these plans by sharing what’s important to you?
