Brigham War Memorial Hall were awarded £18,352 to install solar panels and batteries to ensure the sustainability of the hall and to reduce its energy bills.
The hall is listed as a safe place in the Parish Council’s emergency plan which covers 500 homes in Brigham and Broughton Cross and the funding will also support the installation of an emergency power supply system so that in event of a major power outage the hall can be used as a place of refuge.
“Brigham War Memorial Hall are thrilled to receive Community Investment Funding to install solar panels and batteries. The grant we received will ensure the sustainability of the hall and reduce our energy bills.”
“It will also allow us to have an emergency power supply system so that in event of a major power outage the Memorial Hall can be used as a place of refuge as the Parish Council’s listed safe place in the local emergency plan and we are grateful to the Allerdale GDF Community Partnership for the support they have given to this project which will serve over 500 homes in Brigham and Broughton Cross.”
