TOOTING FIRE STATION

Early day motion 2340, tabled 12 June 2006 by Lord Khan of Tooting (Labour). Signed by 56 members.

That this House congratulates Tooting Fire Station for its decision to install a solar water heating system, which will provide enough energy to supply most of the hot water used in the station; notes that this makes Tooting the first fire station in London to have solar heating, reducing its annual carbon dioxide emissions by 16 tonnes; further notes that the new system will save the station approximately £3,400 on its annual gas bill; and calls on other stations to follow this example and to install renewable energy generators.
