Wirksworth Transition Community Land Trust is collecting information on builders interested in retrofitting to form a “Register of Builders.” If you know anyone who is currently undertaking retrofitting work and is within about 30 miles of Wirksworth, please contact Mary Ann Hooper via wirksworthtclt@gmail.com.
They and others are also trying to get a group of Derbyshire Dales campaigners together who are working on the retrofitting need in their area. This is so they can jointly lobby for more to be done by local authorities and the government. If interested, please get in touch with Mary.
