A £5 million pound grant has been awarded to Walsall Council to aid a Sustainable Warmth Project.
The grant comes as part of a national £430 million investment to help local authorities upgrade homes that are energy inefficient.
The money will be used to help low-income households get their homes fully upgraded without having to contribute to the costs.
Full details of the project will be revealed next year.
Councillor Adrian Andrew, Deputy Leader at Walsall Council said, “This significant amount of funding to support sustainable warmth in Walsall is welcomed and I am pleased that our bid has been successful.”
“The project will help to support those people who most need it in the borough to be able to heat their homes affordably and efficiently which in turn will support their health and well-being.”
“Boosting energy efficiency is a key priority in helping to reduce our carbon-footprint.”
