Warmer houses will cut fuel poverty

An £8.5m initiative to tackle fuel poverty is to target 7,000 homeowners in west London.

Under the Heatstreets project, electricity supplier Powergen will conduct a street-by-street campaign in the boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow and Kensington and Chelsea.

Powergen is to install energy-efficiency measures, including insulation for cavity walls and lofts and improved heating controls.

Brent's director of housing, Martin Cheeseman, said it was vital to reduce the number of people living in fuel poverty as the links between poor heating efficiency and ill-health were well documented.
