Poole Tidal Energy Partnership seeks support

Sharing the power of the tide with the community of Poole.

We need your support to win EnergyShare funding for a study of the potential for electricity generation from the tide from the harbour area of Poole. The energy needs of Poole are significant, but this highly predictable source of power is literally on our doorstep. There are innovative devices out there which can trap some of that energy, balancing alongside the valued leisure, wildlife and commercial activities of Poole.

Turn back to the tap

This summer, thirsty residents are being dared to take the tap water challenge and rediscover the taste of clean, fresh tap water.

Part of a new campaign to help save money, waste and energy, Dorset councils are calling for local people to turn back to the tap. Recycling teams will be out and about making a splash at events across the county promoting the benefits of ditching bottled water in favour of filling up from the tap.

Most people cannot taste the difference between bottled and tap water, so local residents are being challenged to see whether they can. Those that guess correctly could receive a free refillable water bottle.
