Campus East

Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council has been awarded £630,000 from the Government to upgrade the heating system at it s Campus East offices, which follows on from a £1.7m decarbonisation grant awarded in February.
The announcement from the council, about further reducing their carbon emissions, drew a negative reaction as many felt the money would be better spent elsewhere.
However the money, which is given by the Government not the council, is provided specifically for carbon reduction measures in public buildings.
Although some felt the post was insensitive, one person commented on WHBC s post: Rub salt in the wound, how many council tenants are having to live with old and expensive to run heating systems and those that don t work at all?
