Mayor Dave visits Kings House following installation of solar panels

Mayor Dave Hodgson visited Kings House yesterday to discuss their carbon reduction plans following the installation of solar panels part funded by the Mayor's Climate Change Fund.

Mayor Dave said "I am delighted that we were able to help support the installation of solar panels on Kings House by providing £10,000 towards the costs. It is estimated this will save 25,000kWh annually. I was pleased to hear this is not the end of the journey and they are looking at different ways to reduce their carbon emissions going forward."

The Mayor's Climate Change Fund can provide up to 50% match funding (from £5,000 up to £20,000) for improvements that reduce carbon emissions and energy costs of community buildings within Bedford Borough.
