Reepham Low Carbon Communities Challenge

The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) awarded Reepham a large pot of money to spend around Reepham on projects that would reduce the carbon output of the town. Whitwell manged, with some good timing and a lot of hard work, to get a £20,000 grant from this pot.

The Projects that have been planned for this money are:

• A new hall boiler that can be adjusted too run on bio-fuel in the future.
• Solar Panels for the Kestrel/Yew Tree toilet block to heat hot water.
• New A-rated windows and doors in the Pigeon Loft (completed).
• New Boilers and Oil Tanks for both upstairs and downstairs in the Pigeon Loft.
• New Energy Efficient Dishwasher (installed).
• New A rated Washing Machine & Tumble Drier.

All of the materials for these jobs have been purchased and we are waiting for a suitable quiet period to install.

New look to the front of the Hall

The flower borders at the front of the hall have been replanted this spring with a mixture of low growing plants. The plants were chosen because of their colour and benefit to wildlife. This, along with the roses being pruined and trained, has tidied the front of the hall nicely.
