AN EXHIBITION will be held in Malpas next month for 'green' businesses to show off their services.

Malpas Parish Council is organising the exhibition, which will be held on Saturday, November 20, to allow local eco-friendly businesses to show what they can do for Malpas residents.

The event will be held at the Jubilee Hall and Mike Boxall, vice chairman of Malpas Parish Council, encouraged businesses to sign up.

He said: "Malpas Parish Council wants to help local residents to reduce their climate impact.

"This is an opportunity for local businesses to demonstrate the services and products they can offer to help to make ours a greener place to live.

"So, if you are able to help, please let us know.

"You may be able to supply or fit insulation or LED lighting in existing homes, replace boilers with heat pumps, provide solar panels and other renewable generation or design and build zero carbon homes.

"We can also help to reduce carbon emissions by buying more locally, changing what we eat, reusing and recycling, switching to electric vehicles and green energy tariffs.

"If your business can help, or you are looking for new customers, please get in touch.

"We hope to fill the Jubilee Hall with interesting and informative exhibits and stalls providing advice and guidance at just the time when the results of the COP26 discussions in Glasgow should be in the public eye."
