What?
The event aims to showcase solutions to the climate and nature crises. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet with local suppliers of green technologies such as heat pumps, solar panels and electric vehicle charging points. We will have suppliers of energy efficient windows, companies offering whole house 'retrofit' and insulation. There will be independent advice from the Energy Saving Trust and charity Marches Energy Agency. Local community groups will be on hand to discuss their work.
Our own teams will be available, including representatives from Serco who collect waste on behalf of the Council.
