Clarion Housing Group, Morgan Sindall’s housebuilding arm Lovell, Plymouth City Council and homeless charity Alabaré have launched an initiative in Barne Barton that allows ex-armed forces personnel to build their own house under the supervision of a construction company.
Terri the Terrapin
A red-eared terrapin native to southern North America was rescued by a Southern Water ecologist at a river extraction site within the Testwood Water Supply Works in Southampton. Terri was rehomed by Project Terrapin at Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare.
Brewery pilots pioneering heat pump
West Sussex-based Hepworth Brewery has said it is the first UK business to trial a new type of heat pump which could cut emissions by up to 90%.
