PEOPLE living at a Redditch retirement living scheme now have warmer homes thanks to energy efficiency improvement works.
The residents, who live at Citizen’s Blackthorn Court, have seen improvements such as external wall insulation, new windows, new doors, a new roof, and new fans in kitchens and bathrooms.
These were completed thanks to £6.7m Government funding from Wave Three of the Warm Homes Social Housing Fund.
Housing association, Citizen, worked with contractor Westdale West Midlands to complete the works which were carried out over the last few months.
Director of Asset Management at Citizen Bridget Guilfoyle said: “We’re delighted to have completed the works at Blackthorn Court as part of Wave Three of the Warm Homes Social Housing Fund – and it’s fantastic to hear how much of a difference this has made to customers.
“These energy efficiency improvements mean homes are warmer and customers don’t need to use as much energy to heat them, helping to reduce costs and improve comfort.
“We’re committed to working with our partners to make a positive difference for customers and communities, and projects like this are a big part of that.
“Wave Three includes homes in Worcester, Gloucester and Herefordshire, and we’re looking forward to bringing these benefits to even more customers over the next couple of years.”
