A new £2.9m programme is set to help more than 700 households across Leeds the City Region lower their fuel bills and keep their homes warm, following approval from West Yorkshire Combined Authority.
Part-funded by National Grid, the Leeds City Region Warm Homes programme will install gas-fired central heating systems and gas connections in eligible privately-owned and privately-rented homes in, Bradford, Calderdale, Harrogate, Kirklees, Leeds, Wakefield and York as well as eligible social housing properties.
Cllr Susan Hinchcliffe, Leader of Bradford Council and Chair of West Yorkshire Combined Authority, said: “By progressing the Warm Homes programme in partnership with National Grid, we are showcasing our commitment to inclusive growth and helping more people across Leeds City Region benefit from our work. We know that residents who live in fuel poor homes are more vulnerable to ill health and less likely to take part in training and employment opportunities. Thanks to the funding approved, we can tackle this head on and support even more people in the Leeds City Region.”
