Councils have a vital role to play in ending fuel poverty. Councillors – and prospective councillors – can now pledge to do all they can to end fuel poverty.
As a councillor, I pledge to do all I can to end the scourge of fuel poverty. I will campaign for:– improving energy efficiency of Council / housing association housing stock– better enforcement of existing regulations on energy efficiency and property standards in the private rented sector– improving private tenants’ rights– providing information advice and guidance on energy efficiency and benefits to those most at risk of fuel poverty– the use of central government energy scheme grants to help those most at risk– fair funding from central government so local authorities can deliver services residents need
