MORE than £1.4million has been secured by Stratford District Council, working with Orbit, as part of a successful bid to the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) Demonstrator.
The Government scheme supports the decarbonisation of social housing over 2020/21 and aims to boost green jobs as part of the Covid-19 Economic Recovery Plan.
This UK-wide demonstrator scheme will see grants supplied to upgrade more than 2,000 social homes.
In addition to £1.45m in funding, Orbit is investing £2.2m into the project in the Stratford district. Measures are expected to be installed by December 2021.
