  • Parish Council Minutes
    Cannock Wood Parish Council Minutes of the Parish Council Meeting Held at the Village Hall Buds Road, Cannock Wood on Thursday 15 th October, at 7.30 pm. Present: Cllr’s: Mr J. Healey, Mr I. Bamford. Mr G. Powis In Attendance: Mr D. M. Arm - Parish Clerk Mr Trevor Stokes, Chairman of Sustainable Staffordshire Cllr Powis chaired the meeting. Public Participation Mr Stokes was welcomed to the meeting and was invited to talk to the Council. Mr Stokes explained that he was part of an initiative that was encouraging communities to become low Carbon Communities. This could be achieved in many ways from simply using low energy light bulbs to ensuring houses were properly insulated in order to save energy. Mr Stokes handed around leaflets that had been produced and explained that there may well be funding available to help with this project. Cannock Wood had been chosen as the first Village to approach and Mr Stokes explained that it was hoped that a public meeting could be organised where residents in the village could come along and learn what could be achieved in order to reduce energy costs and the Carbon footprint of the Village. Mr Stokes would provide a team of people with experience on this matter to speak at the meeting. Cllr’s told Mr Stokes that they would like to discuss this more with other Cllr’s who could not attend this evening’s meeting so would put it as an agenda item for the November meeting of the Council. Cllr Powis explained that realistically, if Cllr’s agreed it was a worthwhile initiative, it would probably be early in the New Year before a meeting could be arranged.
