Councils are pleased to see the significant investment behind the measures in this Plan, which will help cut bills and make homes warmer, safer and healthier.
Responding to the Government's Warm Homes Plan, Cllr Arooj Shah, Chair of the LGA’s Neighbourhoods Committee, said:
“Cold, damp homes are a serious public health and social issue. Councils are pleased to see the significant investment behind the measures in this Plan, which will help cut bills and make homes warmer, safer and healthier.
“It is crucial that it is delivered properly and to high standards, with good advice for residents and a workforce with the right skills. Councils are best placed to lead this work locally and target support where it’s needed most. We need more powers and long-term, devolved funding so we can get on with improving homes and protecting tenants.”
