Green team

Here to help you go greener

Our Green Team supports people living in the borough and local organisations to go further to cut their emissions and become more sustainable as they play their part to help tackle the climate emergency and ecological emergency.

One of the first of its kind in the country, the team heads out into communities to speak to people on their doorsteps, attend events and visits businesses to give free advice.

This includes giving them support to save money, help wildlife, make our air cleaner and cut waste, all while shrinking their carbon footprint.

  • People living in the borough can get a free home energy survey from the team to find out how they can save money and cut carbon by using less energy at home.
  • Those who want to help our native plants and wildlife flourish in their gardens can book a free garden survey with the team.
  • The Green Team specialists offer local businesses that want to go greener and become more environmentally friendly help to complete a free sustainability audit.

Members of the Green Team will always show their council identification card on the doorstep. Residents who want to check if someone is part of the team should call the council on 01256 844844.
