A SERIES of free workshops will run in Horrabridge during March, April and May to give information and support on lowering energy bills, while making homes warmer and more comfortable to live in, one of which will take place this evening (Thursday).

The four workshops, which will be held in the village hall and Horrabridge Community Primary School, will cover topics ranging from energy saving behaviours, DIY draught-proofing and insulation, and treatment of traditional buildings.

Horrabridge Energy Savers will focus on free or inexpensive ways to tackle energy use at home and will be delivered by trained volunteers from Transition Tavistock. It is hoped to expand the project to cover other parts of the village later in the year.

One workshop was held on wednesday and another will be held this evening and repeated on Saturday (March 29). The workshops will run again after Easter.

The project is co-ordinated by Transition Tavistock and supported by the Energy Savers Trust, West Devon Borough Council and the Dartmoor National Park Authority together with Horrabridge Parish Council and Horrabridge Community Primary School.
