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.
