All of the eligible groups must also be receiving means-tested benefits or have a total gross household income of less than £31,000
Residents who are most at risk of harm from having cold homes – and who also have a low income – could be in line for help to improve their living conditions this winter.
The over-65s, households with children up to the age of five, pregnant women and people who have been hospitalised by a fall are also covered. Under a similar initiative last year, 73 households in the city were helped – none of which were open to any other form of support for the purpose of improving the energy efficiency of their homes.
Any funded work will be carried out by Cosy Homes in Lancashire , which a report to city council cabinet members said was “an experienced and reputable partner”. “In the current economic climate, it’s satisfying to know that even more Preston households on low incomes or with chronic health conditions will benefit from having energy efficiency measures in place. Not only does this tackle fuel poverty, but it also helps reduce carbon emissions.
