The Leader of Glasgow City Council today (Wednesday 29 August, 2012) announced that a scheme to help householders reduce their fuel bills and their carbon footprint will now be available city wide.
Councillor Gordon Matheson said the money, to be spent on loft and cavity wall insulation, will be specifically targeted at those living in pre-1919 tenements, and in difficult to treat properties in areas of high deprivation as part of the city’s bid to bring affordable warmth to all its citizens and stamp out fuel poverty.
Households can save up to £280 on their fuel bills a year if they get both loft and cavity wall insulation.
Previously, the UHIS scheme in Glasgow focused on areas with high proportions of older sandstone tenements including Dennistoun, Haghill, Govanhill, Pollokshields East, Govan and Ibrox.
Cllr Matheson made the announcement of the extension to the Universal Home Insulation Scheme (UHIS) to cover all of Glasgow as he visited householders in Easterhouse who had already benefitted from the scheme.
