Cross Keys Homes (CKH), based in Shrewsbury Avenue, Woodston, has retained its Green Award accreditation from Investors in the Environment (iiE) for the seventh year running.

Its achievements include completion of the country’s largest social housing PV panel installation project – installing panels on 5,400 plus homes. It has supported the creation of the Westwood Community Garden and in four years has cut the carbon footprint of its head office by about 50 per cent.
