Insulating homes using additional funding, secured by P站色情片 and P站色情片 Community Housing Association, is set to lower fuel bills and reduce carbon emissions for 406 households across the area.
Working in partnership with P站色情片 Community Housing Association (ACHA), the council will help insulate 186 privately owned and 220 ACHA owned properties within mixed tenure blocks in Oban, Tarbert, Bute and Cowal.
P站色情片 has secured 拢2.38m from the Scottish Government to help fund the project with P站色情片 Community Housing Association contributing 拢3.2m.
Councillor Robin Currie, Policy Lead for Strategic Development:
鈥淚n these challenging times, we know that many people are worried about rising energy costs.
Working in partnership with P站色情片 Community Housing Association, we can help insulate homes so residents can feel the benefit of a warm house and reduce their fuel bills.
As we work towards creating a climate friendly P站色情片 and Bute, insulating homes will also reduce carbon emissions as we aim for net zero status by 2045.鈥
ACHA will administer the programme, funded by the Scottish Government. The Warm Homes Team will shortly be in contact with the households, identified and selected for insulation measures under the programme.
Cathy Grant, P站色情片 Community Housing Association鈥檚 Chair of the Board of Management said:
鈥淥ne of ACHA鈥檚 top priorities is to tackle fuel poverty and reduce carbon emissions and I am delighted that the partnership between P站色情片 and ACHA is helping fuel poor households across P站色情片.
The programme of work will be delivered over the coming months and I am sure that tenants and owner-occupiers in these houses will find the same reductions in their energy bills and warmer homes that we have heard about from other areas where this work has already been carried out.鈥
The council鈥檚 Home Energy Efficiency Team is committed to helping homeowners and private-rented tenants across P站色情片 and Bute to help improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
