We are proud to have worked in tandem with Hyndburn Leisure Trust to reduce our carbon emissions. A huge amount of progress has been made after a carbon footprint study by ‘One Carbon World’ recommended the council make decarbonisation a priority, particularly combatting the gas usage in the Council’s buildings. Action was taken immediately and an investment of £2.3million was secured from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, which is funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and is delivered by Salix Finance, to sit alongside council investment. £1million of council reserves was also allocated to contribute towards tackling climate change and to enable the urgent changes needed to safeguard the future.
