A WAITING list has been created for residents who did not get cash under East Hampshire District Council’s “Green Deal Cosy” scheme to help their homes warm this winter.

The council says more than £1.3m of funding has been spent to keep 368 residents’ homes warm through the season.

The Green Deal Cosy scheme, which was run by the district council and funded by the government, gave residents grants to get energy-saving home improvements.

The works included multiple types of insulation, boiler replacements and ground source heat pump systems, a technology which gathers heat from the ground and converts it into heating for homes.

An EHDC spokesman said: “The work was completed by local installers and relationships have been built to ensure future works can be managed similarly.”

Adam Carew, member for the environment, said: “I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Beatrice Hubert-Price, our eco-housing and retrofit officer, and her team for their hard work and making this scheme such a great success.”

The waiting list will be used if further funds become available.

Call Beatrice on 01730 234352 for details on available grants and to add your name to the waiting list.
