ON: New Retrofit Grants

‘The scheme is brilliant. I don’t know if the Government’s plan to retrofit 75,000 houses a year is feasible and I don’t really care if it isn’t. Targets are just targets. If we get two-thirds done we are doing well. Even if we just move towards the target that is important as this is about changing mindsets. People think deep retrofits are about sustainability but they are not. They are about doing something for yourself and your lifestyle.’
