Vendors Comment

Now too big for us, we hope to move but stay local. We have lived here in a very friendly and caring village for 13 years taking part in the many activities that take place in the village hall, pub and school. No matter what your age there is something for everyone. We are very lucky too with our immediate neighbours who are kind, helpful and sociable. The solar panels were fitted on an arranged plan sponsored by Torridge DC and/or the Government. They are purely for subsidising our energy costs so there is no "feed-in" arrangement and power isn't stored at all. However it has certainly reduced our electricity costs for cooking, laundry etc which are virtually free during the period from April to September, obviously we still have to pay the standing charge. Our supplier is Octopus and we have to read the meter (it is a digital meter so not difficult) monthly and pass it in to them via the internet. The oil boiler provides hot water all year round.
