Warm Streets
Target 80 is working in partnership with the Centre for Sustainable Energy to ensure that more people get help with insulating lofts and cavity walls. Funding has been provided by Scottish & Southern Energy and with additional support from North Somerset Council and Bath & North East Somerset Council. Grants are now available for priority groups who are in receipt of benefits or over the age of 70. Other homeowners may qualify for grants that will reduce costs of the work to be done and that in turn will bring down fuel bills. Please call 01275-333430 for a referral.
