Hook Norton Low Carbon

Helping Hook Norton cut its carbon footprint since 2009

Hook Norton Low Carbon (HNLC) helps the community think about a sustainable future. In 2010, it won grant funding from the Low Carbon Communities Challenge. This paid for solar panels at Hook Norton Primary School and on the roof of the Sports and Social Club.

HNLC offers low-interest loans to householders who want to install energy efficiency measures and solar panels in their homes.

The group runs a low-cost car share club with two electric vehicles, and plans to add more EVs and charging points. It also runs a popular electric bike hire scheme.

Future plans include setting up a regular repair café, continuing the community-wide Big Veggie Lunch and exploring options for wind power.
