The first phase of an £8.2m programme to reduce the carbon footprint of West Sussex County Council’s buildings has been completed.

Work included replacing gas boilers with air source heat pumps, installing solar panels, upgrading windows and improving insulation.

Seven libraries, six fire stations and a day centre received upgrades, with one of the libraries now capable of running entirely on renewable energy.

The programme is supported by around £1.4m from the Government’s public sector decarbonisation scheme.

Cabinet member for climate change Deborah Urquhart said: ‘This decarbonisation project supports our target to be a carbon neutral and climate resilient organisation by 2030.

‘We are already considering how to fund and carry out further work to reduce the carbon footprint of many other county council buildings.’
