What we found

Desk review: the net-zero-carbon facilities at 'Space City Leicester' are the ADJACENT Dock workspaces, not the National Space Centre itself, which publishes no sustainability strategy or footprint -> Energy & Carbon 9/30, below the floor -> Listed. (Earlier triage over-flagged this as a reporter.).
