And the council has plans for more energy efficient homes
moving in to the properties will also benefit from “significantly warmer homes in comparison to the average private property” because of their insulation, the council added.
“This month we have launched our new housing strategy which sets out our ambitions for the next five years. Significant investment will be going into the social housing stock to maintain and improve quality homes as well as making them more energy efficient.”They include Silk Mill Drive, expected to be finished in August, which is also built on a former brownfield site where four maisonettes were demolished following a gas explosion in 2017.
"Ensuring that people live in warm, fully insulated properties is absolutely vital given the current cost of living crisis, as well as our ongoing commitment to addressing the climate emergency. These homes certainly work towards our ambition of achieving that.
