Thanks to funding from South Gloucestershire Council’s Active Travel grant, we have been able to purchase an electric bike. This e-bike will be used by our Nature Officer and other staff members for site visits and other parish council related journeys.
As part of our Climate Emergency Declaration, the parish council is working towards carbon neutrality. The purchase of this electric bike will help us travel closer to that destination – especially as we can charge it with solar power!
In our efforts towards carbon neutrality, the parish council has now been able to stop using petrol-power altogether. Instead, we use an electric van, electric gardening equipment, and now an electric bike – all of which can be powered by our own solar panels.
