What do you think?

Introduction

Between January and March 2009 a series of nine citizen forums is taking place in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to seek people’s views on Government’s plans for a big shift in the way people’s houses and communities are insulated, heated and powered.

Around 250 people are involved, meeting on three occasions, within our neighbourhoods. During this time we are: speaking to a range of experts; interviewing our neighbours; and making visits to see relevant technologies like solar panels and wind turbines. Representatives from each area will then come to a workshop in London to meet directly with policy makers and discuss their thoughts and findings.

Whether we think about ourselves:

We need to make decisions together on what we should do in future about ENERGY.
