Three landmark venues in North Lincolnshire, Waters’ Edge Visitor Centre, Scunthorpe Central Library, and The Baths Hall, are set to undergo major energy efficiency upgrades, after the council secured funding through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.
The investment will target ageing heating systems and help cut carbon emissions from council buildings, which generated over 3,000 tonnes of CO₂ in 2023/24, mainly due to outdated gas, biomass, and oil-based heating.
Chosen for their high energy use and need for modernisation, the three sites will receive low-carbon system upgrades aimed at reducing operational costs and improving year-round comfort for users.
The upgrades align with North Lincolnshire Council’s broader Green Future strategy and reflect a push to make public buildings more sustainable and community-friendly.
Leisure centres were excluded from the funding due to national scheme criteria.
