I welcome a recent report from Cambridge University confirming that simply closing shop doors during the winter saves up to 50% in energy usage and carbon emissions.

The report has led to the Close the Door campaign. What a great campaign. I’ll be promoting it locally. Amazingly it really is the case that by simply closing shop doors CO2 emissions can be slashed, energy bills reduced and customers and staff left feeling more comfortable. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realise that keeping shop doors closed during the winter months is a win-win for everyone.

Do take a look at the Close the Door campaign details which you can see here.

Which shops in East Dulwich do you think the worst offenders?
