More schools, swimming pools and leisure facilities in Newcastle are set to go green after the city secured additional government funding.
Newcastle City Council has been awarded £1.6m to explore options to install eco-friendly measures in a further 26 public buildings across the city. The work could include the installation of low carbon heating, such as heat pumps, and other energy efficiency measures, including solar panels and improving insulation.
The funding comes as the Council is already using £27m awarded through the government's Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme to upgrade over 30 major public buildings, including Blandford House, home of the Discovery Museum, and City Library.
