EspañolASHTON HAYES
(Redirected from Ashton, Cheshire)
'Ashton Hayes' is a village and civil parish in the Chester District of Cheshire, England. It is located about 8 miles east of Chester. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 919. The main village in the parish - formerly known as Ashton - was renamed Ashton Hayes following a referendum, to avoid confusion with other places of the same name [1].
In November 2005, the Ashton Hayes Parish Council agreed that the village should try to become England's first carbon neutral village and launched a programme, starting 26 January 2006. The move is supported by the local community, businesses, Chester City Council and The Energy Saving Trust. In July 2006 the total annual output of carbon dioxide from the village was calculated by students from the University of Chester at 4,765.76 tonnes.
With the aid of a DEFRA grant, a film has been made explaining the issues and the villagers' efforts, and is to receive its premier in the village on January 25, 2007 [2]. It is hoped that it will increase awareness and encourage other communities to adopt the concept [3].
Measures taken to offset or reduce this have included installing house insulation, installing energy saving light bulbs and wind turbines, and a large number of trees have been planted [4].
The local pub is also planning to become the first carbon neutral pub in England [5].
