The system will power the new Town Hall and Council Building, saving more than £27,500 in energy bills in the first year as well as generating over £25,000 from the Feed-in Tariff.

“Not only will this benefit the environment, it will also save the Council and local taxpayer’s money which can be used to support essential frontline services. Councillor David Bellotti  (LibDem, Lyncombe), the Council’s Cabinet Member for Community Resources.
