News: Dearne Valley breakfast event
Over 40 local businesses will attend a free business breakfast this week to help them identify how they can save money by improving their energy efficiency and environmental management.
Organised by the Dearne Valley Business Forum, the key note speaker at the event will be John Healey, local MP for Wentworth and Dearne. With the event coming just three days after the government's emergency Budget, he will be ready to discuss the consequences of this with local businesses. He will talk about the challenge of bringing about a strong economic recovery after the recession.
"We need to ensure that the Dearne Valley area and the businesses in it can work well with public agencies so that they have the best possible basis to be successful in the longer term," said John.
The event will encourage businesses to sign up to reduce their carbon footprint as part of the wider Dearne Valley Eco-Vision, an ambitious and exciting plan to transform the area into the lowest carbon community of its type in the UK.
Representatives of Dearne businesses will hear how the project aims to involve local communities, boost the economy as well as protect and enhance the natural environment of the Valley.
Dearne Valley Eco-Vision Project Manager, Joanne Wehrle, said: "We want all sections of the community in the Dearne Valley to be aware of the impact that their actions are having on the environment and what they can do to minimise this.
"The good news is that often the steps taken to reduce carbon emissions can result in financial savings for householders and businesses. We want to help local residents and businesses to realise these savings and contribute towards the delivery of the Eco-Vision."
The event, on Friday June 25, will be held at the Park Inn Hotel, Manvers, and will run from 8am -10am.
