Zero carbon and renewables

Homes First is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of its housing stock. We all need to play our part in reducing greenhouse gases and protecting our planet. We have produced guides and resources to support our commitment to reach zero carbon and to help you to do the same. For any enquiries about sustainability or renewable technologies such as Solar PV please contact zerocarbon@lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk.
