Turn the heating down
My experience of visiting council offices and council-run facilities in winter, including the head office, is that they are always FAR too hot. If I'm on foot and it's a chilly day then as soon as I enter an SBC building I have to start removing layers of clothing in a hurry before I melt. I often notice council staff walking about in their shirt sleeves. It's just not natural, let alone justifiable, to have staff working in overheated offices on frosty days - what's wrong with wearing a jumper? We used to be told that turning our heating at home down by just one or two degrees will save us loads on our domestic heating bills so PLEASE turn down the heating.
Why the contribution is important
Save money, better for the health of the staff AND a positive contribution to reducing the Council's CO2 footprint which is so vital if we are serious about combatting climate change.

The older buildings can be gradually upgraded when improvements / replacements are undertaken.
