04 Feb Brent Council to support residents with heating

Brent Council will roll out a £26million scheme to improve sustainability at home.

Those living in eligible properties can apply for up to £10,000 of grant funding to cover the installation of low carbon heating systems, insultation, and smart heating controls.

The plan forms part of the government’s Green Homes Grant which is working to fund sustainability and raise energy efficiency.

Councillor Krupa Sheth, lead member for environment at Brent Council, said: “The Green Homes Grant is a great opportunity to work together with West London councils to help residents living in fuel poverty, and who are most impacted by increasing energy costs and face the difficult decision of choosing between heat and food.

“The sustainable measures will make homes warmer and cheaper to run. As homes and buildings can account for the most carbon emissions, this scheme also doubles up to help us on our journey towards reaching net zero carbon by 2030.”
