In a report from ACRE and the End Fuel Poverty Coalition, it was estimated that a third of households in West Norfolk and part of King's Lynn were to be in fuel poverty when energy prices increase this April.
We know many organisations are thinking about hosting an electric vehicle charging point - not only for their staff, volunteers, and service users, but also for the wider community. We are all for initiatives that make our communities greener - and particularly in rural areas of Norfolk, that help to sustain our rural communities. That being said, charity Trustees need to think long and hard about how they go about this.
CAN is working in partnership with Future Projects in combating social isolation in the Breckland and North Norfolk districts of the county. We'd be grateful if those reading this and living or working in Breckland or North Norfolk could share this information - especially to anyone you know who may be interested in volunteering. Thank you.
Our partners at ACRE have shared this press release (below) about growing concerns over the lack of new housing in rural communities – and it makes for interesting reading.
