Community Heat Survey - BF

Lothian Heat wants people in Edinburgh to have a say when it comes to our future heating and energy systems. We believe communities should have more of a say in how Scotland tackles fuel poverty and reduces emissions. We would like to gather local people’s views.

You can find out more about what we do at: Lothian Heat | Community Heat Network across the Lothians, Scotland

Your answers will be anonymised and handled confidentially.
