Local News : Longstanding grants for insulation ending this September - t.co/5jiwhllEHL
After many years, funding for cavity wall and loft insulation is coming to an end. If you’ve put it off now is the time to get a grant before it’s too late. Insulating your home is one of the best ways of saving energy, lowering your bills and keeping your home warm in winter and cool in the summer.
Our Warm and Safe service can refer you to an accredited contractor to get a free, no obligation quote – depending on your house and heating type the grant may pay for all of the work.
Contact Warm and Safe on 0800 038 5722 or email warmandsafe@cse.org.uk to book a survey before the funding has gone in September.

@MarshfieldIces - why have you swapped to black plastic for your tub lids? It isn't recyclable by @wiltscouncil 😒 Please bring back cardboard lids! @SlimBinsWilts @goingzero2050 #LessPlastic @plasticSrubbish @PlasticFreeTues #plasticpollution #PlasticFreeTuesday
@PeterDunfordCEM Thanks to Holy Trinity for organising! @BoATownCouncil are working hard on this, with Alex Kay leading the charge - signed up to the #plasticfree initiative, and installing solar panels on St Margaret’s as part of our progress toward this @goingzero2050 pledge!
@SustainDevizes @goingzero2050 @claireperrymp Hmmm...nor did @michelledonelan despite attending ‘A Greener Bradford’ @goingzero2050 at the weekend. Poor show!
So there are some politicians who recognise the need to increase ambition in decarbonising. It's a shame that our MP @claireperrymp didn't sign it too. https://t.co/OmLYUTif8H
