Kingston and Sutton councils say they’re expecting to save £40,000 in their electricity bill this year, after staff started working from home

Staff have been using lower-power Chromebooks as they work remotely, rather than desktop PCs, which adds to the carbon savings.

They’re now looking at alternative cloud providers, so they use a large scale data centre rather than a smaller, local one.

The councils also say it allows them to hire people from outside the area, which boosts their diversity.
