Sustainable Kirtlington

A small group making a big impact in Kirtlington since 2007

Sustainable Kirtlington focuses on saving energy and generating clean energy, sustainable transport and local food.

One of its biggest achievements is the Kirtlington Village Hall Clean Energy project. The group installed 32 solar panels on the roof, a 10 kWh three-phase battery to store the energy, and two EV charging points. Low Carbon Hub grants paid for the feasibility study and the battery.

The group works closely with the Eco Council at Kirtlington School. It also worked with Sustainable Woodstock and Low Carbon Oxford North on a group buying scheme that helped households across the three communities get solar panels.

Current projects include setting up a community orchard and a small community shop.
