We are organising a series of events in the Village Hall with plenty of opportunity to hear from Energy and Nature experts and ask all your questions.

Upcoming Events (6.30 to 7.30pm; in the Village Hall):

This Spring the topics will focus on Energy Solutions and Nature:

• • March 27: an Any Questions Session on Home Energy Solutions – come and hear about practical energy solutions from other Villagers and experts in a discussion roundtable format. Also, a chance to catch-up on the new energy solutions in the Village Hall.
  • April 24: Sustainable Hadstock actions and plans, and a talk from the Saffron Walden Food Bank (what it does, how it works, what it needs), as part of the annual Parish Council review
  • June 26: The Challenges and Successes for Wildlife in Cornwall and lessons for Sustainable Hadstock, by Matt Walpole, Chief Executive Cornwall Wildlife Trust and a Hadstock resident.
  • Wildlife Gardening by Clive Boas from Climate Change Gardening (Friday 27th February Village Hall 6:30-7:30)

Our Recycling & Waste Journey (Ben Brown, UDC Director of Climate and Environment, Lynne Smith – Recycling in Hadstock). Friday 31st October  (Village Hall: 6:30 – 7:30pm)

Join us for an informative evening to learn more about the waste journey in the district, ambitious recycling targets in Essex, and what happens now none of Uttlesford’s waste goes to landfill. Ben will guide us through what happens to our waste once it is collected, tell us where Uttlesford stands in the recycling charts, and discuss how we can improve our recycling rates. Lynne will cover what is also available in Hadstock

Do come and ask the experts, have a drink and a chat with your neighbours!
