Charlton Marshall Village Hall has become the first beneficiary of Low Carbon Dorset.

The £10K grant from Low Carbon Dorset will contribute to a brand-new energy efficient building. This will replace the village’s current hall, built in the mid-1930s, which is becoming expensive to run, and no-longer fit for purpose.
The funding will pay for a variety of renewable and energy efficiency measures, including a hybrid air-source heat pump, powered by solar PV panels, and LED lighting throughout, all helping the hall excel energy efficiency standards and reduce future energy bills.
Work on the new hall is planned to start in June, and expected to be completed by March 2019.
