Parish councillors are trying to fight climate change by helping households reduce their carbon footprints.
Stoke Climsland Parish Council has sent 2,500 retrofit guides, external to residents with advice about how changes at their property could make them more energy efficient and cut household bills.
Advice in the guide includes lowering thermostats, insulating properties and installing a heat pump.
Richard Davies, vice-chair of the council, said many houses in the parish were not well insulated and were in effect “heating the garden, not the house”.
