The Environment Secretary, Hilary Benn, has announced that from 1 February 2010 British farmers will be eligible for unsecured, interest-free loans of between £3,000 and £20,000 to help them upgrade to more energy-efficient equipment. The loans are designed to pay for themselves through direct energy savings provided over one to four years. After the loan is repaid, farmers will make direct savings on their energy costs, as well as cutting the carbon footprint of what they produce. The aim is to cut energy bills by a total of £4 million, and 25,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, using interest-free loans from the Carbon Trust.

The Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service is building a new Community Fire Station for Preesall and the surrounding area.
