Dear Parish Councils
I am emailing with a couple of updates to be shared with residents.
Firstly, to say that we are once again running the energy saving scheme formerly known as Big Community Switch. This has now been rebranded to Switch Together: Energy.
The current sign up for the scheme is open until 30th Jan 2026. Please do share with your residents.
The press release can be found here: Solihull Council partners with Switch Together to help residents save on energy bills | Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council
Secondly, we are continuing the Green Doors project, after a successful start in Hampton-in-Arden, providing residents with the opportunity to experience and learn about home energy upgrades and retrofit through small group tours of retrofitted homes. The next event is on 10th Jan 2026. Please also share this with your residents: Solihull – Green Doors Birmingham and the West Midlands
Blessed Yule!
