Dear Chew Valley Area Forum member
We have some further updates for you following the Chew Valley Area Forum meeting on 21 September. We understand that WECA called a meeting for parishes about buses that evening meaning that many of you were unable to attend. Please do catch up with it on our YouTube Channel.

Centre for Sustainable Energy Workshop – Temple Cloud and Hinton Blewett, 13 October, 6.30pm
The Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE), has been holding free energy workshops in selected areas to discuss the potential to generate more of our energy from renewable sources. There is one taking place for Temple Cloud and Hinton Blewett on 13 October from 6.30pm at Temple Cloud Village Hall (poster attached). The workshops are aimed at anyone who lives or works in the areas and all are welcome. The workshop will also include information on what you can do to lower your fuel bills. Find out more and register.
Green Chew Films
A new series of four short films has been produced by Green Chew for anyone wanting to invest in energy efficiency at home. They are available on YouTube (so there may be ads at the start of them!) and enable you to hear from local residents on how they have reduced carbon emissions through installing different technologies:

Avon and Somerset Police Independent Advisory Group
The Bath and North East Somerset Independent Advisory Group is seeking new people to join them.
