To consider approval for a request for funding from the Green Initiatives Fund.

The Committee considered a request for funding from the Green Initiatives Fund to purchase solar panels for Laleham Nursery. Laleham Nursery currently utilised solar panels on part of their roof space, and the remaining roof space had been rebuilt to accommodate further installation of solar panels. The solar panels would create an estimated savings of £1,469 per annum, and that was expected to increase with the rising price of electricity.

The Committee confirmed that despite the rising cost of materials, there was still expected to be a return on investment in the solar panels.  

The Committee resolved to approve funding of £20,000 from the Green Initiatives Fund to purchase solar panels for Laleham Nursery.
