The revamp covers centres in Hitchin, Royston and Letchworth, and is one of the region’s biggest carbon-cutting leisure projects. This latest deal follows on from a similar retrofit package of work in Oxford, where a four-centre decarbonisation scheme cut emissions by 56%. Work will include ripping out old gas boilers and replacing them with air source heat pumps, fitting solar panels, new glazing, insulation and air handling units, plus a suite of energy-saving kit.
