St Albans residents will be able to cut their bills and help the environment at the same time with help from a local county councillor.

Councillor Chris White (St Albans Central) has allocated £500 from his locality budget to Transition St Albans (TSA). The funding will help engage neighbours in working together to cut their carbon footprint and household bills through the Transition Streets project.

Cllr White said: “Climate change isn’t going away and it has to be tackled at every level. I am glad to be able to help local people find ways of reducing their household energy use”.

TSA is a group of St Albans district residents who explore ways to make the city more sustainable. You can find out more at http://transitionstalbans.org/.
