Wrexham Council is excited to announce a new weekly bulletin to help people save energy. This bulletin is all about making small changes that can make a big difference. We want to help everyone cut down on their energy use and save money on bills.
Every week, we’ll focus on one thing you can do at home to use less energy. We’ll explain why it’s important and how you can do it. It’s all about making things easier for you to help the environment.
Below is a list of the things we’ll be talking about each week. We hope you’ll join us in making Wrexham greener and saving energy together.
