Green Deal Consultation - we want your views!

A few of us attended the "Greening the Green Deal" event in Radcliffe on Trent on Saturday 10th December. It was run by Terena Plowright, the founder of the Greening Campaign, and champion of putting communities in the driving seat.

After a very useful review of the Green Deal's key features, Terena invited us to read the consultation document and to respond to it.

Questions you may wish to consider:

• Do you think communities have a role in the present outline policy?
• Where do you think the blocks to the household uptake will be?
• Can you see an opportunity for communities to make money? How?
• Can you seen an opportunity for setting up community energy schemes? How?
• How can community energy develop within the framework of the Green Deal?
• What needs to be added or altered to the Green Deal framework to make this easier?
• What blocks stop community energy schemes taking place?

The online consultation response document is rather heavy going so Terena invited us to email our comments to her for her to discuss with DECC directly. If you would like to take part in this process, please read the consultation document and email your thoughts to info@wbecohouses.co.uk and I will send on the combined "wbecohouses" response. 

The consultation ends on 18th January 2012, but Terena may need our responses before that. If I can get an exact date I will add it here. I hope to hear from you -  the sooner the better!
