Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Interesting 'green' community intiative in Peckham.
Interested to read this example of a community led intiative in Peckham from The Londonist
" a group of local residents have hatched an idea to start up a new business, which will bring green energy into people's homes in the area.
This is how it works - The Peckham Power Company will look at a household's energy use, and will then help supply sustainable technology and insulation to reduce people's bills and 'go green'.

Thanks for this Liz. I'm attending their conference Saturday with a few others.

Had a very interesting afternoon at this community event organised in the main for residents of Peckham and looking at how people can come together to share information on reducing energy use within their own homes. This included workshops on various renewable energy options. There was even food provided by the community centre 'Spike'. Lovely it was too.
They are now in the process of setting up working groups to take things forward.
See reaction to the days events on video. There are other video for your interest as well.
