Community Centre grand opening

Gatehouse Of Fleet Community Centre held its grand opening day on Saturday the 16th of October. The opening day follows a long period of construction and decorating works to the centre. The Gatehouse Carbon Action Team attended the opening day and set up an exhibition covering climate change and renewable energy technologies. The Community Centre has had extensive works carried out over the past few months; the building has been fitted with air-to-air source heat pumps and 22 solar panels. Since the installation of the solar panels in March the electricity generated has saved over one tonne of carbon dioxide as electrical power has been generated on site and not imported from the grid. Many Gatehouse residents turned out for the event and the Community Centre can now be used in a productive and sustainable way.
