We are undertaking energy assessments on all our stock to be able to plan works to reduce the effect of climate change, reduce tenants’ fuel bills and improve the air quality in all our homes.
This takes significant organisation, and like many housing providers, we are currently in the planning stages for this initiative. We will notify residents of our plans as soon as we are able.
We have recently submitted a bid for grant funding and in the event that we are successful, we will be undertaking works on around 250 homes over the next two years.
This will be allocated to some of our homes that are hard to heat and located in areas that contain the highest proportion of deprivation and fuel poverty.
This is, of course, just the start and we have a target to carry out energy improvement works on all our older stock by 2030.
