Green projects delivered

The money raised through the first Cotswold Climate Investment have been used to fund two principal projects.

Investing locally to create a greener Cotswolds

The council has completed installation and connection of publicly accessible EV charging points in both the Rissington Road carpark, Bourton on the Water and the Council office carpark at Trinity Road, Cirencester. These are now being regularly used by local residents, visitors, shoppers and staff and members at the Council office site.

The council has also invested in solar PV to cut emissions from its own buildings. The Trinity Road solar PV installation went live in February 2025 and is generating electricity. Roof-mounted solar PV and accompanying battery storage was installed between July and October 2024 at the main Council office building on Trinity Road.
