A CONFERENCE in Oxford will aim to inspire housebuilders and landlords to create more eco-friendly homes.

The Eco Connect event will aim to raise the quality of new-build and retrofit construction in the city.

Oxford City Council’s ‘sustainable cities team’ is bringing the event to Oxford as part of the OxFutures II programme to grow Oxfordshire’s low carbon economy.

The first ever South East event will be held in Oxford on Wednesday, November 22, at the Kings Centre in Osney Mead. It will be relevant to social landlords, local authorities, community and voluntary groups. Registrations will open shortly.
