Key Themes
Making homes warmer, more comfortable and healthier to live in.
Protecting the natural environment and improving access to green spaces.
Increasing walking and cycling around Chelmsley Wood.
The project aims to boost energy efficiency in homes, making them warmer and more cost-effective to run by offering free retrofit assessments and practical energy-saving solutions.
To help support healthier living environments, residents can receive guidance on indoor air quality, including free air quality monitors and advice on reducing indoor air pollutants.
The project prioritises access to green spaces, allowing the community to help shape improvements in local open spaces and natural areas.
Encouraging walking and cycling is also a key focus, with various activities designed to promote active travel and overall wellbeing.
By working closely with residents, Your Future Chelmsley Wood seeks to create a healthier, greener, and more connected community.

We’re thrilled to share our first video highlighting our vision for Net Zero Neighbourhoods - A future where every neighbourhood enjoys warmer, more comfortable homes, greener, energy-efficient heating and electricity, safe and convenient active travel options, low carbon transport and accessible green spaces.
Filmed in our very first Net Zero Neighbourhood location, Brockmoor in Dudley, we showcase the Net Zero interventions the WMCA aims to deliver in our Net Zero Neighbourhoods pilot demonstrator programme.
We are working closely with our communities to co-design interventions that really meet their needs, we’re turning innovative ideas into tangible results and through that process we are creating neighbourhoods that are healthier, more sustainable and better connected! Take a look to see how we plan to make Net Zero Neighbourhoods a reality, one step at a time. This isn’t just about improving the places we live in; this is about shaping greener, healthier and better communities for all of us.
