e on the warmest day of the year so far. The Fantastic Home exhibition was there with advice on everything from making the most of the current good weather with solar panels to insulating homes before autumn arrives. Advice was available to all – including those who came dressed as pirates!The exhibition was busy for most of the day, helped in part by being next to Jo’s Jingles. Rushcliffe Borough Council were taking pledes for a low carbon lifestyle in their willow pledge tunnel and an extended display of leaflets and information connected the Fantastic Home to the pledge area.
There was significant interest in solar photovoltaic panels and we were able to give people outline outputs and expected income levels based as well as referring some people on who were very interested. There were also a lot of people who were surprised to find out that they had not enough insulation, these were directed to the new Warm Streets service.
The bike was in constant use and the carbon snakes and ladders game was also very popular. We were able to help families out with tariff switching enquiries and also direct people to getting a water meter fitted where this would prove economically advantageous.
A brief shower (as forecast) just before 4pm signalled the close of the day and was the first time there was not a large crowd around the exhibition for the entire day.
