Nottingham City Council has acquired £2.2 million to improve 237 properties across the city with various energy efficiency measures.
This includes:
- 13 private households in the most deprived areas of the city having insulation measures for walls, roof and floor, plus windows
- 157 owner occupied properties receiving fully funded solar panel installations
- 67 council-owned properties which will benefit from external wall insulation or internal wall insulation.
Nottingham City Council Deputy Leader, Cllr Sally Longford said:
‘Yesterday at Executive Board, which is one of the council’s most important decision-making committees, I was pleased to take the next step to improve hundreds of homes in Nottingham with energy efficiency measures.
‘These measures will help people in our city heat their homes for less, tackling fuel poverty as well as climate change.
‘This funding is in addition to £12.3 million worth of funding agreed earlier this year which will benefit almost 700 homes across Nottingham, with a range of measures for private as well as council homes, from cavity wall, loft and floor insulation to solar panels.
‘These measures are very important as part of Nottingham’s ambition to become carbon neutral by 2028 and also beneficial to many residents in our city who struggle with their heating bills. I hope there will be other funding opportunities in the future to help even more households in our city.’
