The London Assembly Housing and Environment Committees, the 25-member elected body tasked with holding the Mayor to account, have written to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on the Green Homes Grant and Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund to highlight the importance of these funds for London, particularly as more details of the schemes are announced.
The energy efficiency of homes in London is a significant problem for many Londoners who are dealing with considerable issues with damp, condensation and cold, which in turn negatively affects their health and wellbeing.
The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that many people are now working from home, often in overcrowded conditions, and will continue to do so for some time, including through the winter months. This makes addressing cold and damp homes even more pressing, to avoid any additional pressure on the NHS as it continues to respond to the pandemic.
