SOLAR panels, air-source heat pumps and LED lighting would be installed in public buildings as part of a £5.7m ‘decarbonisation’ project. Leigh Sports Village, Howe Bridge Leisure Centre, Atherton and The Turnpike in Leigh are among the locations which will all benefit from the plans. Lower-energy LED lights would be installed across all sites, helping to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions in line with targets. Windows at the new school site would be upgraded and a new roof and ground-source heat pump would be installed under the plans.
