Directly through South West London Local Energy Support Programme we have links and partnerships with a large number of local and regional organisations and forums including:

South West London HECA/LASP Forum

Regular meetings are held between the SWL LASP and HECA officers in the region, to share experiences and ideas, and to take a co-ordinated approach to sustainable energy activities in the borough. For example, during Energy Efficiency Week 2003 the local authorities, in co-operation with the SWL EEAC, designed a solar competition, where the householder who made the most energy efficiency improvements during the time of the competition won a solar hot water heating system.

London Renewables Steering Group

Renewable Energy Action for London (REAL) Partnership
The activities carried out under the REAL initiative are steered, and implemented, by members of the partnership, which includes 23 local authorities, London Sustainability Exchange, Energy Solutions, Energy Saving Trust, London Renewables, and the funding partners, which include Association of London Government, London Energy, New Opportunities Fund, Scottish Power, and the SEED Programme.

Croydon Environment Partnership

The Croydon Environment Partnership is responsible for the development of environmental policy within the Croydon Strategic Partnership. As part of the Environment Partnership’s activities the LASP is also involved in the Partnership’s Energy sub-group, which is responsible for developing energy policy for the borough.

Richmond Building Responsibly Group

The Building Responsibly Group (BRG) was set up as a special interest group by the Richmond upon Thames LA21 group. The BRG aims to promote greater understanding of sustainable, healthy building by those commissioning and undertaking development and refurbishment of buildings. In April 2004 the BRG organised an Affordable Ecohousing Seminar, in co-operation with the SWL LASP, to explore the opportunities available to Richmond Council to provide sustainable housing to residents.

Hillingdon Affordable Warmth Group

The group was established to develop Hillingdon’s Affordable Warmth Strategy. The steering group includes representatives from a number of local community organisations including Uxbridge Citizens Advice Bureau, Age Concern, Pension Service, Healthy Hillingdon, HAVS, and the Housing Benefit and Social Services departments at Hillingdon Council.

Wandsworth Environment Forum

The Wandsworth Environment Forum comprises of individual residents and members of community groups. The aim of the Forum is to exchange experiences and ideas on local environmental issues. The Forum acts as a liaison between the local community and the Wandsworth Local Strategic Partnership, providing Wandsworth Council with a steer on environmental policy matters.
