The Council recognises the many benefits of energy conservation and we are committed to improving energy efficiency standards.
The Home Energy Conservation Act 1995 (HECA) requires all local authorities to report on the energy conservation measures that they are undertaking to improve energy efficiency in residential accommodation in their area.
Our HECA Progress Report 2023 sets out our progress on these measures.
