The ActionHeat team, responsible for the successful Keep Shropshire Warm initiative has continued to provide affordable warmth help to both Shropshire and Herefordshire over the summer months.

In what is normally a quiet period for the fight against fuel poverty, ActionHeat has upped the stakes and provided insulation measures, at a free or discounted rate, to 540 households since the middle of June.  The team has also provided advice about low and no cost, DIY, affordable warmth measures and information about better energy tariffs to a further 230 households.

The hard work that the ActionHeat team has put in over the summer to ensure households are more comfortable this winter has seen the following benefits:

• £103,500 retained economic benefit
• 908.4t/CO2/annum
• 135 households potentially removed from fuel poverty.
