Glasgow residents in deprived areas set to get FREE wall insulation after council deal

Previously home owners had to pay £1,500 as a contribution but that has been binned amid the cost of living and energy crisis and the fact that some residents didn’t want to take part because of the cost.has accepted £6.437million from the Scottish Government to deliver the energy-efficient home improvements in the city between April and end of March 2023.

Labour councillor Soryia Siddique asked when the home improvement cash must be spent by at the meeting. An official confirmed the grant was offered in May and has to be spent by June 2023. The council said research from the Child Poverty Action Group has estimated that from January 2023 around 180,000 households in Glasgow may be in fuel poverty.

A council report said: “This funding will allow Glasgow to tackle fuel poverty and improve energy efficiency to owner occupied and private rented properties in wholly owned and mixed tenure blocks under the Scottish Government’s Energy Efficient Scotland – Area Based Schemes programme for 2022 to 2023.”
