Groundwork Thames Valley has worked with Slough Borough Council and People 1st Slough to introduce a FREE (in most cases) wide-ranging service for homes across the Borough. The service is called 'The Green Doctor' because it aims to improve the health of homes in Slough by addressing key environmental issues.
* Free energy saving measures - provided by the Green Doctor or
associated agencies
* Improved energy awareness - benefitng the whole community by
reducing carbon emissions
* Financial savings - eligible Slough residents will have cheaper
utility bills.
For eligible residents, the Green Doctor will visit your home
and make a thorough assessment of the entire house, including
appliances, radiators and the loft. If needed, he will also
install FREE some or all of the following:
* low energy light bulbs
* reflective radiator panels
* draught proofing
* hot water tank jacket
* appliance 'power down' units
* electricity 'smart meters'.
Larger-scale measures (eg cavity wall and loft insulation) can be
arranged by the Doctor to be installed at a later date.
Groundwork Thames Valley hopes to be able to offer home security
measures (eg door and window locks) in the near future if funding
allows.
If you're a Slough resident, please contact Rob Haynes, the
Green Doctor, on robert.haynes@groundwork.org.uk
or 01895 832662.
