The South Cambs bid for some funding under the Community Renewables LPSA Reward Grant Bid (nice catchy title that) is still progressing and we hope to know by early November if we have been successful. The money will be used to fund installations in villages, including in homes, of alternative methods of low-emissions heating, and other energy saving devices such as photovoltaic panels.
Star FM interviewed me this afternoon on what South Cambs is doing to save the planet! It gave me the chance to plug what the Climate Change Working Group is doing, working with villages.
Earlier this week a housing heating manager from South Cambs gave the sheltered housing residents in Lettice Martin in Whittlesford a session on energy saving. I'd asked him to come because of the concerns people were putting to me having about their heating. He talked through what the council could do in terms of repairing and replacing heaters, and has arranged for all properties to be surveyed to ensure that the insulation standards are as high as possible, and that people are on the best tariffs and with the best value energy suppliers.
