In 2021 and 2022, residents of two Oldham neighbourhoods, Sholver and Westwood, worked with Carbon Coop to explore how transforming power, heat and transport can benefit local people.  

Together the group discovered, shaped, and tested plans & projects designed to transform their neighbourhood and energy system.

Through this there were opportunities to discover how warmer homes, lower bills, greener ways of travelling, better health and new jobs could be brought to life. A citizen-led answer to building back better. 

This site contains the plans and results of our community programme. The project was funded by ICLEI as part of the Action Fund.
