scheme launched by Ribble Valley iBqrough Council and Groundwork Pehnine Lancashire. . Jwenty properties at risk of fuel pov
erty have received energy monitors, which use sensors and LED displays to ^track how much energy is being used. At the end of the scheme, the proper
ties will be visited by a “green doctor”, a specialist who will advise on a series
'of measures to reduce fuel bills and ad dress climate change.
Ribble Valley Borough Council’s
housing officer, John Barber, said: “Many households simply don’t appreci ate how much electricity their appliances use, even when on standby. “And households on low incomes are at additional risk o f fuel poverty, be
cause they often can’t attract favourable fuel rates.
' illustrate how much elec
tricity the pilot households are using, then follow that up with individually-tai lored packages o f advice and support. Mr Barber added: “If successful, it is
hoped to secure the services of a full time ‘green doctor’, who will visit homes in the borough, conduct energy surveys and offer advice on how to reduce fuel and water bills, and get grants for such as draught excluders, radiator panels and computer power down devices.”
Final concert strikes fitting note
A GALA evening o f Viennese music brought the Mayor’s Music series to an end for the borough’s first citizen. CounTBeveriey Jones, who has been May
or o f the Ribble Valley for the past munici pal year, has taken music to all comers of the borough over the past 12 months. Stonyhurst’s Centenaries Theatre played
host to the final concert in the series which featured members o f the Promenade Con cert Orchestra o f Morecambe conducted by Howard Rogerson. “It was very successful, with a wealth of toe
tapping tunes expertly played,” said Coun. Jones. Speaking about the series of concerts she
has hosted'to raise money for her chosen charities -
friends o f Clitheroe Hospital and
Action for Children - she added: “I was par ticularly pleased that it gave me an opportu nity to show that the Atrium Cafe can be used for this sort o f event and other groups have taken the idea up.” And o f her year in office Coun. Jones said:.
“It has been a privilege and like a gift really'
to.be mayor and I have really seen the two- important roles as being an ambassador for the Ribble Valley outside the Valley, as well; as encouraging groups and individuals within the borough and letting them know that we acknpwledge their work and activities.” ;
