SOUTH Dorset MP Richard Drax has officially turned on the biomass heating system at the new housing development on Portland.
Mr Drax said he was proud to officially open the 'innovative' wood pellet boilers, which will serve the Olympic and Paralympic sailors in 2012 and then members of the public, when the homes are sold on the open market and used as affordable housing.
Chairman of Dorset County Council John Wilson and borough Mayor Graham Winter were also among the invited guests who gathered at the Officers Field Housing site, near Victoria Square.
