LAST CHANCE for a FREE THERMAL IMAGING SURVEY

Garvald and Morham Community Council have acquired a thermal imaging camera to allow local homes to be surveyed by a local volunteer and advice given on measures that can be taken to reduce heat loss. The expected result is lowered energy use and bills and a reduction of our communal carbon footprint.

To arrange a date, contact either Andy Duncan (Garvald) or Andrew Watson (Morham). We’ll then arrange a suitable time to carry out the survey.

If you prefer, the camera and instructions can be delivered so you can do the survey yourself. In either case we will review the pictures taken and, where possible, give advice on measures that can be taken to reduce heat loss.

There is no charge for this service.

    Garvald Community Emergency Resilience Team/Information Group – Update

    If you aren’t already on it, why not join The Garvald Community Emergency Information Group on Facebook?
    It was set up to pass on important and verified information from trusted sources and to provide practical support and advice in emergency situations such as adverse weather. We can all post any updates on snow/road conditions/road closures or any emergencies.
    The page is administered by me, Penny Short, as the Community’s Emergency Resilience Co-ordinator but relevant posts from members are always welcomed. It’s a closed group but open to everyone from Garvald & the surrounding area.
    If you’d like to join our Emergency Resilience Team (we’re all volunteers) please complete the contact form, below. Thankfully we are not often called upon & there are no meetings to attend – any ’emergencies’ are usually dealt with via the Garvald Community Emergency Information Group or our own Emergency Resilience Team WhatsApp Group.  It’s a great, fun wee team & we would really welcome any new members.
    Our Emergency Resilience Team has the support of the Council’s Emergency Planning Team and our Community Council. The Resilience Team came into its own during the Beast From the East when the village was completely cut off for a few days (fun times!) and also during lockdown. We also ran a mock rescue exercise, supported by East Lothian Council’s Emergency Planning Team, which was more fun than it probably should have been. Please consider joining us.
