Great to hear Moss Hall Nursery in West Finchley will be one of the latest schools to benefit from this. Greener schools, cheaper bills, more vital resources back into educating young Londoners. What’s not to love?!
NEW: An extra 10 schools will benefit from lower energy bills thanks to new funding from GB Energy to expand @MayorofLondon’s Greener Schools initiative. That brings the total to 48 London schools saving up to £15,000 a year on their energy bills ⚡️☀️

One spark is all it takes.With dry weather, the risk of wildfires is high. Barbecuing in parks and green spaces is banned under our Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO)—and it’s dangerous. Let’s keep our parks safe and enjoyable for everyone. Fines of up to £1,000 apply.
