The residents took part in a day of low carbon discovery, looking at the latest technologies, low carbon jobs and support through the training and skills process.

The day concluded with a tour of a wind turbine at the Eco Tech centre in Swaffham – the worlds only wind turbine with a public viewing platform, not for those with a fear of heights! well done to all involved, it was worth the 300 steps!
