This week I popped over to Pavenham Village Hall and Playing Fields to see the solar panels putting installed in the first project supported by the Mayor's Climate Change Fund. I was met by Members of the Pavenham Village Hall and Playing Fields Charity, while the guys from S.A. Solar, the Bedford firm installing the panels, were obviously also on hand. Congratulations must go to the Charity's members for pursuing this excellent project, for which they were awarded over £8,000 (50% of the total cost) from our new fund.
