The Peterborough Accelerated Net Zero (PANZ) project is reshaping local energy decarbonisation.

It focuses on accelerating the adoption of low-carbon solutions through the deployment of heat pumps in rural, off-gas communities and expanding district energy networks.

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

Morning.
2025 is the year the UK needs to start installing a lot more heat pumps - or other low carbon heating systems - if we’re to keep pace with our climate commitments.
A lot of work to do…
