Newent Town Council is pleased to announce a new initiative to help residents improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
Thanks to support from the Forest of Dean District Council, the Town Council now has a thermal imaging camera available for residents to borrow. The camera allows homeowners to identify areas where heat may be escaping from their property, helping them understand where improvements such as insulation or draught-proofing could make a difference.
Thermal imaging cameras detect temperature differences on surfaces and can highlight common issues such as:
• Heat loss through walls, roofs, and windows
• Poor insulation
• Draughts around doors and frames
By identifying these areas, residents can make informed decisions about improving their home’s energy efficiency, potentially reducing energy bills and improving comfort during colder months.
The camera is available to residents within the Newent Town Council area and can be borrowed for a short period.
To borrow the equipment, residents must:
• Complete an application form
• Provide photo identification
• Agree to the terms of the borrowing and responsibility for the equipment while in their possession
Application forms are available from Newent Town Council, and spaces may be limited depending on demand.
For more information or to request an application form, please contact:

Newent Town Council encourages residents to take advantage of this opportunity to better understand their home’s energy efficiency and take practical steps toward reducing heat loss.
