Selected homes in two areas of Watford are benefiting from grants operated by a council to install energy saving measures. Watford Borough Council says grants from £100 to over £10,000 will be available for selected homes in Leavesden Road and the Kingswood Estate area to help make residents’ homes warmer and more efficient. It comes after the council secured £2 million as part of a partnered project from the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. Funding goes towards installing energy saving measures such as external wall, underfloor and roof insulation, as well as smart heating controls. The target area consists of 2,850 properties supporting the government Green Homes Grant with additional council assistance.
