September 2024
The subgroup is currently mapping out the decarbonisation/low energy/waste reduction support available in the Forest of Dean for businesses, charities, the wider community, and beyond. This includes funding opportunities, job roles, community projects, training, and education initiatives. The purpose of this exercise is to identify what is currently available and to highlight where the subgroups efforts are best placed.
The draft mapping document can be found here and we are encouraging feedback and thoughts from the wider community. If you have any suggestions or questions please email FEP@fdean.gov.uk.
