The Everybody's Talking website is funded by the Local Authorities Energy Partnership - a partnership of all the local authorities in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire - and provided and maintained by Marches Energy Agency (MEA). The partnership - and the website - are unique in spanning two counties.
