UPDATE: 23RD APRIL 2025 - PROJECT COMPLETED
We are delighted to confirm that the works to install solar panels onto the roof of the Toot Hill Village Hall have now been completed. After receiving feedback from both local residents and those who hire the hall, the Parish Council moved forward with the project with work taking place in March 2025. This new solar panels will help to lower our carbon footprint, as well as reducing the running costs of the hall, thus keeping hall hire fees low for our residents. In order to do this, changes were needed to the roof of the hall to ensure it could safely hold the weight of solar panels. The total cost of the project was just over £50,000. £15,000 grant funding was secured via the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and a further £20,000 via the National Lottery Grant Award Scheme. £15,000 was taken out of our earmarked reserves.
