The future of Horsham, Storrington and Hassocks libraries is looking even brighter as the lighting in a number of West Sussex buildings has been given a new lease of life in a bid to be more energy efficient.

The county council is working to reduce its energy costs and impact on the environment through a rolling programme of energy efficiency work at its corporate buildings.

Under the latest phase, low-energy LED lighting has been fitted in public and back office areas at Horsham, Hassocks, Rustington, Storrington and East Preston libraries.

The new fittings and bulbs will improve lighting for library users and staff, reduce annual energy consumption by more than 48,000 KWh and cut carbon emissions by 21 tonnes per year – contributing towards the county council’s 2025 50% carbon reduction target.
