Green team

Here to help you go greener

Our Green Team offers people and organisations in the borough free help to adopt more sustainable lifestyles and working practices.

By speaking to people on their doorsteps, attending events and visiting businesses, the team’s advisors support residents and businesses to save money, help wildlife, make our air cleaner and cut waste, all while tackling the climate emergency and ecological emergency.

The free help available for people and businesses in the borough includes:

• free home energy surveys to give people top tips and advice for how they can save money and cut carbon by using less energy at home
• free garden wildlife surveys to help people understand what they can do in their gardens to encourage native plants and wildlife to flourish
• free sustainable journey plans that can help you leave the car at home by finding footpaths, cycle ways and bus routes you can use instead
• support for businesses to complete a free sustainability audit to help them understand how they can become greener

Our Green Team specialists will always show their council identification card on the doorstep. If you want to check if someone is part of the team, you should call our Contact Centre on 01256 844844.
