Gemma Sandie, partnerships officer at Home Energy Scotland shares information about their Spring Advisory Forum which will be held on Thursday 8th May and focuses on the Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) Switch-off.
'You are warmly invited to our Spring Advisory Forum on Thursday the 8th of May at Orchard Brae House (full details below). In this session we will be focusing on the Radio Teleswitch Service (RTS) Switch-off.
