We are continuing our work to improve housing conditions and support residents’ health and wellbeing.
Following the success of the Home Upgrade Grant, which helped 39 households enjoy warmer, more energy-efficient homes, we have now launched a new £1.6 million Warmer Homes: Local Grant.
The scheme delivered in partnership with Tamar Energy Community will support even more households over the next three years, helping those on low incomes living in cold or damp homes.
The new is now live.
The website focuses on how West Devon residents can get involved with helping nature thrive, and information on how we can increase and protect biodiversity in our area.
