Curry Rivel - Heating Survey

Dear neighbour,
We are doing a study looking at ways of improving the way that people in Curry Rivel heat their houses, to save them money and to save the climate.
We have obtained funding from Somerset County Council to employ specialist consultants, RenewEV. They have suggested several ideas that could work.
We are now at a stage where we need your help.
We need to understand how people are currently heating their houses, and how many would be interested in joining in any of the schemes that have been proposed.
Please fill in the survey below, and also please ask your neighbours to take part.
We will not share your personal details with any organisation outside the Curry Rivel Heating Initiatives Project Working Group and its contracted consultants, RenewEV. Providing your contact details is optional, but will help us to better understand the range of people in the village who have responded.
Thank you very much!
