Eco Tip: Continuing our focus on food waste: spend a week paying attention to what you throw out or just open your bin or food waste caddy and look what’s inside. Thinking about this will help you work out where to focus your attention.

You can talk to experts about your own energy situation for independent advice on solar panels, energy bills, heat pumps, ventilation, condensation, etc. All welcome.
Annual Charitable Giving. It's time for you to nominate charities that the PCC will consider for receiving a donation in 2027.
