The schemes will help generate power for things such as EV charge points in those car parks, as well as the leisure centres themselves. If successful the pilot could be rolled out to other council-owned sites in the two districts.
Councillor Elisabeth Malvisi, Conservative cabinet member for environment at Babergh s rainbow administration, said: The introduction of solar carport technology in Sudbury really demonstrates our forward-looking approach for our towns. We want to see them thrive, and lead the way when it comes to clean growth and tech – and this is one of the ways we’re doing just that.
“Suffolk, and Babergh, are a natural fit for solar, receiving more sun hours on average than the rest of the UK. I hope this project will help to ensure Babergh continues to be a place people are proud to live and work.”

Controversial plans to slash free parking in Babergh from three hours to 30 minutes could be revised, following the intervention of councillors.
Babergh District Council s scrutiny committee has recommended that one hour of free parking remains at most car parks, instead of just 30 minutes.
It has also asked that any changes are not implemented before September 2021, rather than July 2021 as planned.
Those proposals were approved by three votes to two following a lengthy three-hour debate on Monday morning, after counter proposals for two hours free parking to remain only received two votes in favour and three against.
