Lerwick Town Hall Completes Heating System Upgrade with Government Grant
What happened
Lerwick Town Hall reopened after four months of closure following a heating system upgrade. The project replaced old oil-fired boilers with heat exchangers and installed over 30 new cast-iron radiators. The energy efficiency works were supported by a grant of £167,873 from the Scottish Government’s public sector heat decarbonisation fund.

Why it matters
