WITH reference to your recent article about Acorn House in Bury, it is the intention to further improve linkages with local communities by providing the range of information and advice services in conjunction with the local community groups.

The services will continue to be co-ordinated by the staff from Acorn House, who will also provide energy saving advice and access to energy saving grants. The outcome is to achieve communities with a greater understanding of their local environment.
