A huge congratulations to Sevenoaks District Council who have been awarded £612,950 from the Swimming Poor Support Fund for new solar panels at EA White Oak Leisure Centre in Swanley, which will reduce energy costs and help cut the centre’s carbon footprint.
Good facilities for swimming are so important to the community and the problems caused by the pandemic and the rise in utility costs have put them at risk in recent years. This is the second successful bid I have supported locally to the fund, and my congratulations to Cllr Leader Julia Thornton, Lesley Dyball the Cabinet member for People and Places, and all officers for their hard work in successfully securing this vital funding.
