They've been hosting workshops, consulting with the community, researching the area and are ready to share their findings!
The most popular options? Wind turbines and solar panels. They strike a great balance between meeting our energy needs and keeping our landscape disruption to a minimum.
CPRE is putting together a detailed report and vision for Crich which they will unveil on 2 July 2025.
So, mark your calendars and come along. Hear the results and help influence the final report. We can't wait to see you there!
