District-wide activities

Energy infrastructure

We work with local stakeholders to assess current and future needs for the district's energy infrastructure. This includes; 

• exploring the different heat networks in order to create heating for buildings

• improving the electric vehicle charge point infrastructure for residents and businesses.

Home energy grants 

We promote government grants that help residents improve the warmth and energy efficiency in their home. 

Find out more about the grants available.

Thermal imaging scheme

We are working in partnership with Hart Voluntary Action (HVA) to deliver FREE thermal imaging surveys to residents in the district. Residents irrespective of income, can apply for a survey. 

Find out more about the thermal imaging scheme.

Green Grid framework

The Hart Green Grid framework is an initiative aimed at improving community wellbeing and the environment within our district. By creating a network of green corridors, the framework will connect communities, enhance access to green spaces and promote sustainable living.

Working with schools 

We're helping schools in Hart empower their pupils to learn more about the impacts of climate change. We have done this through a number of activities including; offering eco-coding to school. 

This eco-coding helps the pupils learn about the environmental impacts of climate change, through a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) model of learning. We are also able to advise schools on how to develop their climate action plans; a government requirement for all schools by the end of 2025. 

Impact Hart

We connect with our residents through the Impact Hart engagement programme, which includes attending local events. Through these conversations with residents, we aim to offer advice on energy efficiency, sustainable living and eco-friendly practices, We hope this will encourage residents to take small but impactful steps towards our goal of being a carbon neutral district by 2040.

In November 2025, we held our second Sustainable Homes and Gardens event at the Hart Shopping Centre in Fleet. Residents had the opportunity to chat to the climate change team and external experts on issues such as thermal imaging, food waste recycling/reduction and insulation. Our next event is planned for 28 November 2026.
