EAST Hampshire MP Damian Hinds was in Alton to officially open the pop-up Energy Advice Centre in the High Street on Saturday.

In cutting the green ribbon, Mr Hinds said: "This is a great example of what can happen when you get dedicated, creative, inspirational people coming together to work with other organisations and households to find practical solutions to make something happen."

He was referring to the Energy Alton project whose members had turned out in force to support the opening of the advice centre.
