Lagging Behind - Insulating homes in London

The Environment Committee's report reviews the delivery of insulation to private homes in London and finds the capital is lagging behind national rates. With the benefits insulation offers, the growing pressure of high fuel bills and the need for bold action to reduce carbon emissions, the Committee believes even greater levels of home insulation can and should be occurring.

The report calls on the Mayor to set out an ambitious programme to rapidly expand insulation activity, delivering 90,000 insulations a year in the short-term and a significant increase in the delivery of solid wall insulations. It urges the Mayor to simplify the process of getting insulation - encouraging the consolidation of schemes under one phone number offering advice, guiding householders to the right deal for them, and arranging for installers to visit.
