Improving Prosperity

Dufftown Net Zero Carbon Starts Now!

8 April 2021 by Fraser

Did you know Transport generally accounts for a third of UK CO2 emissions?

Did you know that Scotland has banned the sale of Petrol and Diesel cars from 2030?

 

The DDCA is here to help!

The DDCA are Partnering with Moray Carshare to bring Dufftown’s first Community Electric car into use. The DDCA purchased the car in February 2021 and we have been working with The Moray Council to secure Dufftown’s first electric car charger in the Mortlach Memorial Hall Carpark. While the electric charging point is almost completed, we are finalising an agreement with Moray Carshare to operate the electric car for the benefit of local residents.

Did you know that it costs £22 for two adults to take a return trip to Elgin? With the electric car, this regular journey would cost roughly £18 for a 3-hour trip.

Check out Moray Carshare’s Website for more information and become a member: www.moraycarshare.co.uk

Dufftown Food Larder is opened!

15 November 2020 by Fraser

After developing a partnership with the Royal British Legion Dufftown, the DDCA have established a food larder in their vestibule. The food larder is replenished daily and is open between 0900 & 1400 daily. Please take for yourself or another resident as required, please leave a donation as you feel you can.

The food larder is kindly supported by the Royal British Legion Dufftown along with many other kind local businesses and government support schemes. It is thought that at least 100 people use the food larder per week and this is saving 100kg of end of life Co-op food stuffs from landfill.

Many thanks to Howdens Elgin for their donation of the kitchen units!
