Is your home draughty and expensive to heat?
With utility bills expected to rise this year, now is the time to think about the energy efficiency of your home.
If you own your house, have a household income of less than £31k and have heating that isn't mains gas with an EPC rating of D,E,F or G, you could be eligible for some home improvements. This could include better insulation and a carbon heating system.
We are working with partners Tamar Community Energy to help lower income households in the most need of upgrading.
Don't know your EPC rating? You can look it up.
Check whether you are eligible and apply online.
We’re thinking about changing the price of long-stay parking in our car parks – have your say before Monday 8 January.
After keeping our parking charges the same for more than two years, inflation and rising costs means we’re planning to increase the cost of parking in our long-stay car parks – though short stay parking prices will remain the same.
We think that increasing the long stay prices – and keeping short stay prices the same – will reduce any impact on our local businesses, shoppers and everyone using essential high street services. But we want to hear from you.
Here’s exactly what we’re thinking of doing:
- Increase long stay fees at all of our long stay car parks in Hatherleigh and Chagford, Mill Road Car Park in Okehampton, and Abbey, Bedford and Riverside car parks in Tavistock.
- Change Abbey Car Park in Tavistock from a 4 hour maximum stay to a 6 hour maximum stay car park.
- Brentor and Lydford car parks will return to Dartmoor National Park Authority to operate.
- Keep short stay parking prices the same.
Have your say online.
