Funding is available (if needed) towards energy improvements (loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, etc) for residents.
Lincolnshire councils highlight funding for Government’s energy efficiency scheme
Councils from across Greater Lincolnshire have joined forces to help people cut their home energy costs.
Launched in June, the Lincs 4 Warmer Homes (L4WH) scheme was set up across Greater Lincolnshire offering home energy efficiency improvements and advice.
As part of this, the partnership is calling for residents to enquire about the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) funding stream now available.
Improvements available as part of the funding include
• Loft insulation
• Cavity wall insulation
• Solid wall insulation
• Boiler replacements
• First-time central heating
Councillor Owen Bierley, Deputy Leader of West Lindsey District Council, said: “I am delighted and proud that so many local councils and organisations have come together to support local residents through what may be a challenging winter season.
“Having access to funding and expert advice is an important service for people who are struggling to afford to keep their homes warm and safe.
“I therefore urge any resident who thinks they are eligible to get in touch and find out what they could be eligible for.”
L4WH is administered by North East Lincolnshire Council’s regeneration partner, ENGIE, for all ten local authorities.
