Saving money and keeping cosy this winter is the message being sent out by the Council who have made new funding available for insulation and heating improvements.
New grants are being made available for eligible residents across the area for loft and cavity wall insulation, including hard to treat cavities, and for boiler upgrades.
People living in certain areas of Twerton or Southdown may be eligible for extra support, including a grant towards the cost of solid wall insulation.
Councillor David Dixon (Lib-Dem, Oldfield), Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Deputy Leader of Council, said: “This is a great opportunity for Bath & North East Somerset Council residents to get support to install these measures which could help bring their energy bills down, whilst contributing to reducing our collective carbon footprint.
“It is the first time this kind of funding has been made available and this scheme is specifically for residents in Bath and North East Somerset.”
CSE’s Paul Winney said: “We encourage all residents to call us to find out what you might be eligible for. As an added bonus, if you install insulation or heating through this scheme before 31st December you will be entered into a prize draw to win £170 of Love2shop Vouchers.”
