How can we address fuel poverty sustainably in St Helens?
Poor housing stock, together with low incomes and rising unemployment have left a bleak outlook for many people living in the UK. In these colder months, some of the most vulnerable people living in fuel poverty are struggling to keep their homes warm. Under the Green Homes Grant, the government has pledged £3 bn spending to implement energy efficiency measures. But, what does this mean on the ground in St Helens?
Join us for this event where we're bringing together representatives from key organisations and sectors across St Helens to unpack the issue of fuel poverty and explore the current barriers to action in addressing this issue. We will then delve into the potential solutions available to alleviate these barriers and create greener homes, that both alleviate fuel poverty and tackle the climate crisis.
We will be joined at the event by local MPs, Marie Rimmer and Conor McGinn.
