Very pleased to see a new #energytwitter supplier which is focussed on giving prepayment customers a good price omni-energy.co.uk/welcome
Spot on and our stakeholders and partners will want to see much more detail from government around how these reforms will guarantee that everyone in the U.K. can live in a #healthy home @APPGHHB
Proposed #planningreform can only deliver for our communities if:
☑️ Regional & local councils retain powers to make specific provisions for allocated zones
☑️ Each scheme has a masterplan detailing exact mix of uses etc
☑️ Local plans are created using a more democratic process

New detail on the Green Homes Grant scheme this morning!
It seems that it will come in 3 parts:
1. £500m voucher pot for low-income households
2. £500m pot for LAs to primarily support fuel poor households
3. £1bn scheme that everyone can access

Via @RHarrabin. Energy efficiency could (a) drive short-term growth (b) create skilled jobs (c) spread recovery across all regions. Seems obvious choice for Govt but has fallen through political net one too many times to be guaranteed!

Rising in-work #poverty isn't just about low pay.
It's about high housing costs for poorer households, and cuts to benefits since 2010.
It's also about increasing pensioner incomes and higher levels of employment than we've ever seen.

Really pleased to see Baroness Osamor and others in today's @AlfDubs #inequality debate challenging Government to do more to address monopolies & tax unearned income - our stakeholders know all too well how it feels when companies are 'taking rather than making'

Agreed, maybe we should tie #GreenNewDeal together with @UKLabour @KateOsamor green paper 'A World For The Many' which was published last year... policyforum.labour.org.uk/ne…
Our #GreenNewDeal must be outward facing. We must address the injustice at the heart of climate change, by supporting the Global South and rights to stay and move.

UK homes are not fit for the future, says @theCCCuk. 'Existing homes must be made low carbon, low energy and resilient to climate change.' We agree, and welcome the CCC's calls for government and householder action.
