The grant will see energy efficiency and decarbonisation works at the Guildhall, Hull City Hall, Hull History Centre and The Wilson Centre.Councillor Charles Quinn, said: "This will bring long-term benefits for the city, both from a carbon production perspective and energy costs savings."The council secured £4,935,960 of funding from the government's Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme to help its vision to become a leading carbon neutral city within the United Kingdom by 2030.
The project follows the council's ongoing energy efficiency and decarbonisation works at Hull's Western Library, Streetlife Museum and Treasury Building.It is also estimated to save 3,400 tonnes of carbon over the next 20 years.
Mr Quinn said: "The council put forward a strong case for the benefits of investing in decarbonisation of our buildings and I'm delighted government funding has been allocated to support these schemes."
He said the project demonstrated the council's commitment to tackling climate change and its carbon neutral and net zero targets, whilst continuing the energy efficiency work already in place thanks to last year's funding.A spokeswoman for Carney confirmed earlier that talks were due to take place on the issue.
