ADVICE on how to update homes and make them more energy efficient will be available in Solihull.

To mark West Midlands Retrofit Action Week, which runs from May 10 to 18, there will be a host of events and virtual workshops offering information and advice will be on offer.

And in Solihull there are two free drop-in events.

Experts from Solihull Council’s Green Homes Team and Act on Energy will be on hand and residents can find out how to upgrade their homes to be more energy efficient and receive free impartial advice on energy saving and how to create a healthier home.

There will also be staff from the Family Hub at the Friday event.

The session will be held on Monday (May 12) from 11am to 4pm at Parkgate in Shirley and on Friday (May 16) from 10am to 4pm at Riverside Family Hub on Bosworth Drive in Fordbridge.




Councillor Mark Parker, cabinet member for housing, said: “Retrofit Action Week is a great opportunity for residents and organisations to find how to adapt homes to make them more energy efficient, save money and ultimately tackle climate change.

“There are many ways to get involved – check out the RAW website listings and take advantage of our free drop-in sessions to get free, face to face advice.”
