Low Carbon Neghbourhood

http://www.london.gov.uk/view_press_release.jsp?releaseid=23462

Barking Town Centre is one of 10 Low Carbon Zones in London.

"Each of the winning boroughs will be awarded at least £200,000 to pioneer energy –busting measures in their low carbon zones. The Mayor wants to make London a low carbon city, boosting ‘green collar’ jobs and helping to lower energy bills by becoming more energy efficient. These zones will showcase exactly how London can become a low carbon city by using a wide range of measures to help people cut carbon and by reducing the emissions of some of London's older buildings, which have generally been more difficult to make energy efficient."
