New Big Society Fund

New Big Society fund is launched

A new financial institution set up by the government to finance charities and community groups is launched with £600m in funds. 

Big Society Capital has £600m, of which the majority comes from unused cash in bank accounts that had been dormant for more than 15 years.

The fund will back social enterprises that prove they can repay an investment through the income they generate.

"This is about supplying capital to help society expand," said Prime Minister David Cameron.

Garden Available in Pilley

Lymington

This garden has been matched for this year.

A wonderfully well tended vegetable patch has become available in Pilley, it has been well composted and dug over this winter. Dimensions are 6m by 3m and it has a sunny aspect. Outside water is available, tool storage and there is the possibility to use one side of a greenhouse. We do not have pictures at this time, but hope to get some soon.

If you are interested please email lymingtongardenshare@gmail.com

Garden Available in May Avenue Lymington

Lymington

THIS GARDEN IS AVAILABLE THIS YEAR

A large garden 30m long by 15m wide has become available in May Avenue Lymington. It is currently under brambles and nettles so will need some preparatory work! The garden is partially shaded. There is outside water available and somewhere to store tools. The owner would also be happy to have a beehive in the garden.

If you are interested please email lymingtongardenshare@gmail.com

Garden available in Milford-on-Sea

Lymington

GARDEN AVAILABLE IN MILFORD-ON-SEA A great opportunity for a keen gardener - two large (approx. 11.5m by 2m) raised beds are available along with two greenhouses, one large (5m by 2.5m) and the second smaller. One raised bed has been covered in black plastic and could quickly be bought back into cultivation, the other will need weeding. There is also a small herb bed in this sunny garden. Water is available from a tap and there are compost bins nearby.

If you are interested please email lymingtongardenshare@gmail.com  or phone Emily 01590 675612 or Rachel 01590 683558

Lymington

GARDEN AVAILABLE IN HAGLANE COPSE. A lovely sunny vegetable patch and greenhouse are ready to be taken on. The garden was cultivated last year so with a bit of weeding it would be ready to plant very quickly. The plot is approximately 5 metres 80 cm by 5metres, which includes the greenhouse. Water is available from nearby water butts and compost bins have some compost ready. There is storage for tools if it is required.

If you are interested please email lymingtongardenshare@gmail.com  or phone Emily 01590 675612 or Rachel 01590 683558

FITS to be reduced again in July

(Taken from Energy Share)

FiTs to be reduced again in July

Just as the UK's solar industry is recovering from recent cuts to the Feed in Tariff they are due to be slashed again. In July tariffs for <4kW installtions will drop from the recently reduced rate of 21p to as low as 13.6p - a further 35% reduction. This new rate is being set according to levels of Solar PV deployment during March and April.

Any while even the most hardened environmentalists will concede that the initial tariff of 42p was unsustainable in the face of underestimated demand for solar, are these rushed and repeated cuts not killing off a flourishing industry? Or do you think that these are the only tactics to deal with what was developing into a serious problem?
