Reminders and alerts

Reminders

Your school has four gas meters and we are displaying the data for two meters. The data is missing for MPRN 81342902 and this meter isn't capable of sharing data with us. It needs to be upgraded. Please liaise with the central MAT team to arrange the meter upgrade. The other gas meter serves the swimming pool which no longer uses gas to heat it.

It's time to choose a new programme of activities. What challenge will you take on next?
