On site renewables are most effective when the energy can be stored for later use. We talk to a trail-blazing local authority whose approach will lower the energy bills of both purchasers and tenants in a town centre regeneration project.

Love Wolverton is a £40 million project to regenerate the town centre of Wolverton, a handsome Victorian railway town that is now a popular neighbourhood in Milton Keynes. Milton Keynes City Council will deliver this 115-home regeneration scheme, in partnership with developer TOWN which devised the scheme.

The project meets long-held community ambitions for the demolition of the Agora Centre, a failed 1970s leisure and shopping centre built in the 1970s, and reinstates the lost Victorian street pattern, reconnecting and revitalising Wolverton’s town centre.
