We are holding a Nature Quest on 7th June at the Church from 10 am to 4 pm for Great Big Green Week and Churches Count on Nature week. We will have sheets for adults and children to follow but would welcome any help on the day even if for an hour or come and have a go! We have just been designated as a Local Wildlife site after a recent inspection as well and hope to further build on this base in the future.
Here are 2 reference documents.
The first is a proposal to develop a cycle way between HV & Wycombe & beyond. This is still very much in the discussion phase. Cycle route feasability report v4
The second is from the Department for Transport seeking to promote cycling. gear-change-a-bold-vision-for-cycling-and-walking
Less well-off households in Buckinghamshire should benefit from new funding to make their homes more energy efficient following a successful, joint bid for central government funding.
The BEIS (Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy) Sustainable Warmth competition which ran last year invited bids from local authorities for a share of the available funding. Buckinghamshire Council joined forces with other regional authorities under the umbrella of the Greater South East Energy Hub (GSEEH). The funding allocation has just been announced and Buckinghamshire has received £4.9m to support local households.
Including the new funding, since October 2020, Buckinghamshire Council has received £7.3m to help improve poorly insulated homes in the county.
Eligible home-owners can find out more about how to access the funding via the GSEEH website. The scheme will benefit both home-owners and those who rent privately.
