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.
