The Trent Supercluster is a clean energy and innovation hub centered on three former coal sites, West Burton, High Marnham, and Cottam.
The supercluster spans approximately 14 miles along the River Trent in Nottinghamshire close to West Lindsey. It is already home to the UK Government’s world-leading Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) fusion prototype and the UK’s largest green hydrogen production facility.
Bassetlaw District Council on behalf of the East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) has recently launched the Know Your Place Trent Valley (KYPTV) website.
Which details its community engagement approach that is looking to build understanding of local communities either side of the River Trent across parts of four local authority areas - Bassetlaw, West Lindsey, Newark and Sherwood, and North Kesteven. The data collected from these conversations will be published and used to help create local profile reports that will help define local priorities and to inform decisions makers regarding emerging projects such as the Trent Supercluster.
To support discussion and engagement, there will be a number of drop-in events around the Trent Valley region throughout the summer of 2026.
The nearest consultation events to the parish of Toft Newton are being held in Corringham, Sturton by Stow, Upton cum Kexby and in Lea. If you have any thoughts on the Trent Supercluster checkout the websites listed above or attend one of the Community Engagement Events.
