Cullompton Town Council is proud to announce the installation of a new solar system at the Cemetery’s welfare unit, featuring eight solar panels, an inverter, and battery system. This new green infrastructure enables on-site, sustainable charging for the Council’s two electric vans and its all-electric ride-on mower, further reinforcing the Council’s commitment to eco-friendly practices.
The addition of solar power to the welfare unit is a significant step forward in Cullompton Town Council’s ongoing efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and embrace greener alternatives. The project was made possible entirely through grant funding, resulting in no cost to taxpayers – an achievement that underscores the Council’s dedication to both fiscal and environmental responsibility.
“This is a fantastic milestone for Cullompton,” said Councillor Tony Spring, Mayor of Cullompton. “With these solar installations, we’re leading the way in adopting sustainable practices within local government. We’re excited to see how these green initiatives will inspire others to make changes that benefit our environment. Our goal is to keep Cullompton moving towards a cleaner, healthier future, and these upgrades are a great example of what’s possible when we invest in renewable energy.”
As Cullompton Town Council continues to replace its equipment, it has committed to looking for greener replacements wherever possible, ensuring that its transition to sustainable practices will continue long-term. This initiative aligns with the Council’s green agenda and its ongoing pledge to prioritise the environment in every decision.
The solar project at the Cemetery welfare unit is one of several upcoming efforts by the Council to make Cullompton a greener, more sustainable community for its residents. By reducing emissions and embracing renewable energy sources, Cullompton Town Council demonstrates how impactful change can be made at the local level, serving as a model for environmentally conscious progress in our town.
