We have secured funding through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) to help small businesses within the district to cut their rising energy costs by improving buildings and facilities. Projects should focus on clear ways to save energy and cut energy bills. You must also be able to measure the improvements in reducing energy and cutting carbon emissions for 12 months after the project ends. Applications must be submitted no later than 1 September 2025 at 10am. Find out more.

Central government has asked us to explore plans to create a new, single council to deliver all your services - from bin collections and street cleaning to schools, roads and care services. Find out more and give your views by 1 September.
