Climate Change Fund projects in Highbury
As many of you have just received your council tax bills again it is worth looking at the projects that have been agreed in this area as a result of your donations to the climate change fund. As you will remember, along with £3m from the council, residents were able to donate their council tax discount of £20 to the fund. The aim of the Climate Change Fund is to fund individuals and projects to improve the environment. Residents can bid for help with projects in their own home (for more information click here. ) and community and public buildings can apply for match funding. In Highbury the following projects have been approved:
- Highbury Pool - over £100,000 towards solar thermal energy
- New Park Day Centre - nearly £20,000 towards solar thermal energy
- The Ecology Centre had over £20,000 for a biomass boiler
- Residents in Birchmore Walk on the Highbury Quadrant Estate will get solar thermal energy
And there are lots more projects to come. If you run a community building or have ideas for a project do let us know.
have your say
