What are we doing?
South Ribble Borough Council is working in partnership to understand the local need and demands for Retrofit from residents and businesses.
We employed 3 Interns from Lancaster University during the summer of 2023, who collated baseline data to create the most up to date snapshot of where we are at in South Ribble at the moment.
We are creating links with local suppliers, installers and assessors in order to understand the market and identify local training providers.
We have built a development of 15 energy efficient townhouses and apartments in Bamber Bridge for the affordable rental market. Read more about it in the UK100 MacKenzie Arms
We hosted our first Greening Homes and Businesses event which was attended by local businesses, school Eco Councils and members of the public.
We are embedding our retrofit actions into our Climate Change Action Plan.
We are coordinating funding opportunities via the grants detailed below for residents and businesses.
