Fantastic news – Camden Council has won a bid to make Belsize and the surrounding area a Home Energy Efficiency Programme pilot for the whole of London. That means up to 1,000 households will each receive 10 energy and water efficiency measures installed for free. The aim is to test the concept for the whole of London. Those who have hard-to-heat homes which need solid wall insulation and double glazing will also be offered the chance to take part in a new Pay-As-You-Save pilot, which Cllr Alexis Rowell spent a year arguing for with the government. Basically the PAYS scheme will mean Camden Council lending money to homeowners who will pay it back out of energy bill savings or when they sell the property. This is great for Belsize and, if the two pilots are successful, for London and the UK as well. If you would like a free energy efficiency audit of your home, then please contact the Small Steps team at Camden Council on 0800 801 738 or by emailing info@smallstepsenergyvisits.co.uk.
