The Borough Council has reached 250 ‘declarations of eligibility’ for homes in West Norfolk under the government’s ECO4 scheme.

The grant will help Wokingham Borough Council replace 7,500 aging street lights with LED lanterns, and install a further 6,300 LEDs on existing lights.

Council wardens are getting on their bikes to improve efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint created by work vehicles. East Staffordshire Borough Council is adopting power assisted cycling to enable wardens to travel economically through the borough. Supplied by Lichfield-based electric bike specialist PowaStation, the electric bike enables staff to cover far greater distances than using a traditional cycle.
