What is Green Streets..?
British Gas has made £2m available as part of its Green Streets programme, to invest in innovative energy projects in Great Britain's communities.
They are encouraging local residents, businesses and community groups to apply to Green Streets with their project ideas that will help them to save and generate energy locally as well as engaging their wider community, with a chance to win a further £100,000 at the end of the competition.
Tackley has successfully bid for, and been awarded, one of the British Gas Green Streets awards.
Green Streets expects to deliver average energy savings of at least 25% for all the residential homes involved;  last year’s Green Streets scheme did just this and the overall winning street achieved savings of 30%..!
