Whitefriars Gardening Awards / New School for Stoke Aldermoor

Two recent stories in the Telegraph:

Whitefriars residents were recently awarded for their gardening efforts at a ceremony at The Brittania hotel.

A new school is planned for Stoke Aldermoor which will include wind turbines and a ground source heat pump.

It would be the first school in Coventry to do away with boilers and heat classrooms by pumping water 100m underground, warming it up with natural heat and pumping back up again. The system will cost £112,000 to install but is expected to pay for itself over time through cheaper heating bills.
