More hard to heat homes in West Lothian will have insulation installed this year after the council won £1 million backing for a project which has already seen improvements to more than a thousand houses.
Marjory Mackie, Housing Strategy and Development Manager, told a meeting of the Housing Services Policy Development and Scrutiny Panel that confirmation had been received of £1.025m for 2023/24 to enable the council to continue its work in Dedridge, Livingston.
Funding is provided by Holyrood to all councils to deliver energy efficiency improvement works, with a focus on solid wall insulation, to privately owned homes to reduce levels of fuel poverty.
