Decarbonising community buildings

Any other business - member updates
Lisa Pickering gave an update on the Wheels to Work scheme. The scheme remained open throughout lockdown unlike other schemes as Lisa was able to operate from a mobile van rather than an office.
Two electric mopeds have been purchased and trialled which Lisa is pleased about. The long term aim will be to replace all with electric scooters.
