Have your say to help shape home energy solutions

Lewes district residents are being invited to give their views on home improvements that could either save money on energy bills or help improve the environment.

Home energy survey

Home energy survey
The survey has been launched by Lewes District Council and responses will develop solutions for residents or make recommendations to government.

Homeowners are being asked about their current home energy and heating set up, their views on different technologies and solutions that could make their home greener or most cost-effective to run, and what factors influence decision-making when choosing tradespeople or planning home improvements.

Councillor Emily O'Brien, Cabinet Member for Climate, Nature and Food Systems, said: "We understand that many residents are keen to reduce their energy bills and contribute to a greener future, but navigating the options can be daunting.

"This survey is a crucial step in understanding the specific needs of our community, allowing us to develop targeted support and advocate for effective solutions. We encourage all owner-occupiers in Lewes district to participate and help shape our future energy strategy."

The survey, for residents who are owner-occupiers, will stay open until 5pm on Monday, March 31.

The council is planning to host a separate survey to focus on home improvements for people who rent in the private sector and landlords.

The council recently updated its Climate and Nature Strategy and Action Plan which details ongoing efforts and plans towards 2030 carbon reduction targets and to improve the environment in partnership with communities. So far, the council has achieved a reduction of 41% in carbon emissions and 17.6% in greenhouse gas emissions.
