The British Gas Green Streets programme is now well under way: 40 households have signed up and have surveys done. The small energy saving measures are being handed out, and the insulation programme has started. When relevant participants will get their lofts insulated, or even receive a boiler upgrade or solar thermal for hot water. All houses will be draughtbusted by our local tradesmen in the fashion that we have become famous for. Henry Cavendish School will have free energy from the new photovoltaic panels soon!
December 2009: we are a successful participant in Green Streets II in co-operation with British Gas to provide homes in Hyde Farm with insulation or renewable energy, as well as renewable energy generation for Henry Cavendish School. A welcome boost for all our efforts and a good opportunity to help the community lower our carbon emissions and energy bills. Santa Claus has been to Hyde Farm in Balham which means that you could get your home insulated or, if you've already done that, you could even qualify for a boiler upgrade or solar thermal water heating.
October 2009: We reached the London Regional Final with our bid to British Gas Green Streets II and are awaiting to hear whether we will receive any funding for household energy efficiency and micro-generation projects in our local community.
March 2009: We have been awarded a grant of £500 for equipment to support the development of our Community Garden in Radbourne Road Our Activities
February 2009: Successful draught-busting session rounds off a winter season of events which has seen growing numbers of local residents learn how to draught-proof their own homes.
