In order to help households in rural Rother improve energy efficiency and reduce energy bills, Citizens Advice 1066 are offering free home energy assessments for eligible households, as part of the government-funded Local Energy Advice Demonstrator (LEAD). This project ends on 31 March, so time is running out to find out if you can get a free assessment.
If you live in a rural part of Rother District and are a homeowner, landlord or private tenant then you may be eligible to participate in this project. Anyone who is in a 'hard to reach' demographic or a 'hard to treat' home, such as older buildings and those not on mains gas, can be included. If you know someone else who may be eligible, feel free to pass details on to them too.
For further information on the scheme and eligibility requirements, please visit the Citizens Advice 1066 website, or phone 01424 869 352 and leave a message mentioning LEAD.

Bodiam Road to Northbridge Street - Friday 24 January to Friday 31 January
Residents and businesses will need to be escorted within the closure. To enter the closure area please wait at the hard closure point to be escorted. When leaving properties there will be a telecom service in place which will put you in contact with the traffic management team to escort you out. Please note there might be a slight wait.
These works will generate some noise for which we apologise in advance.
Works are weather dependent.
