The redevelopment plan was officially launched yesterday by Cllr Sally Longford, Portfolio Holder for Energy & Environment at Nottingham City Council, who announced their plans to use an approach called ‘Energiesprong’ they’ll be driving down the cost of bills, including the addition of insulation, solar roofing and new central heating.

She said: “As the city’s largest landlord it’s right that we tackle energy inefficient homes as all that wasted energy impacts on our climate change ambitions as well as being expensive for our residents. We have already achieved a lot through our Greener Housing Programme and we’re determined to do more. Our recently launched Fuel Poverty Strategy sets out a bold vision to build on our successes by embracing new technology and innovations to ensure we do all we can to tackle high energy bills, cold homes and climate change simultaneously.”

Nick Murphy, Chief Executive at Nottingham City Homes’, said: “It’s important that we insulate our homes and make them more energy efficient for the future. As well as helping fight climate changes this will tackle fuel poverty, making our homes warmer and cheaper to run. It’s a great start to 2019 to be rolling our the Energiesprong approach to so many homes. The first pilot homes look fantastic and have really lifted the local area; this roll-our will really add to the regeneration of neighbourhoods across the city.”
