EXCITING NEWS!

Would you be interested in...?

1.  Reducing your heating costs

2.  Creating local employment

3.   Locally sourced energy with environmental benefits

The Trust was successful in its application for a grant to carry out a feasibility study into the benefits of a Community Wood Fuel Heating System, which would provide heat and hot water for businesses and householders in Moretonhampstead from a central boiler. You would NOT need to change your existing heating system.
