Leeds City Council<\/a> is set to invest \u00a3100m on measures to improve the energy efficiency of council housing by 2050<\/h2>\n

The measures aim to help tenants save money and cut carbon by improving the energy efficiency of council housing over the next five years.<\/p>\n

New technologies will include ground and air source heat pumps, district heating networks<\/a>, external wall insulation, and solar panels.<\/p>\n

By improving the energy efficiency of council homes the measures are expected to help residents facing fuel poverty and prevent the most vulnerable from suffering cold-related illnesses.<\/p>\n

The investment will support the council\u2019s commitment to reduce the city\u2019s direct emissions to net-zero by 2030 and make Leeds a greener, fairer and healthier city.<\/p>\n

It will also support local green jobs<\/a> in industries carrying out the improvements.<\/p>\n

Leeds City Council has been working in partnership with the University of Leeds<\/a> to identify the best way to target these improvements to maximise the benefits for residents and the environment.<\/p>\n

\u2018Everyone deserves to live in a warm home\u2019<\/h3>\n

Councillor Debra Coupar, deputy leader and executive member for communities, said: \u201cEveryone deserves to live in a warm home that can be heated affordably, so I am delighted that we are ramping up efforts to help even more residents over the next five years.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiving in a warm and energy efficient home is better for our health, better for our finances, and better for the planet too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Councillor Helen Hayden, executive member for climate change, transport and sustainable development, added: \u201cThis is an ambitious investment that reaffirms this council\u2019s commitment to tackling the climate emergency<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re doing everything we can to make the properties we own fit for the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we now need a long-term, national plan that enables private homeowners to invest in their properties and gives reassurance to local businesses to hire and train workers with the skills needed to meet the demand for sustainable housing.\u201d<\/p>\n
