Greenwich Prioritizes Renewable Energy in Ambitious New Budget

Greenwich Council plans a new budget. A £1 million Community Energy Fund will be a focus. This fund aids local renewable energy projects like solar panels and wind, cutting emissions while potentially lowering energy bills.

The fund is part of bigger investments as the council wants to boost life quality. They also plan road repairs, hopefully making potholes disappear. A million goes to council tax help, and adventure play centers get upgrades of £820,000.

Streets will get safer with £680,000. Kids’ wellbeing also gains attention as hubs will expand with £200,000 for children. Centers will open for special needs, receiving £1.7 million. Children’s services get a huge £12 million alongside £20 million for better elderly care support.

Disabled residents will see home changes, helped by over £2 million to adapt homes. The council leader spoke about climate action, to tackle climate change, and how residents’ bills could lower. The fund, it was stated, gives communities power.

The council keeps pushing forward for real change for people, planning to fix potholes, for example. Future generations will benefit too from better parks and safe streets. Support will also increase for both older and younger residents.

Council tax will increase to pay for all this by almost five percent. Some residents can receive help through the hardship fund. Advice hubs are available in the borough to assist with cost of living.
