Cumbernauld Housing Partnership – tackling affordable warmth TESTIMONIALS Cumbernauld Housing Partnership – tackling affordable warmth “We believe switching to mains natural gas will improve the living standards of our tenants and allow us to provide warmer, more comfortable and energy efficient homes” Midlothian Council – tackling air quality “The installation of the gas infrastructure to this area has been a major achievement, involving high levels of cooperation between consultants, contractors, local authorities, local councillors, private developers, owner occupiers and tenants. The main driver for the project was poor air quality. The poor air quality title has been removed from the area around Pathhead” The City of Edinburgh Council – tackling housing quality “The 225 households on the Gateside Estate in Kirkliston had only electricity for their heating and cooking until the City of Edinburgh Council - which owned 118 of the properties - decided to seek to have mains gas installed. We worked with the Council to source £100,000 of funding for the project from energy supplier Eon as part of its Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) obligations. The residents in Gateside have campaigned for many years to have gas installed in their homes." - Councillor Norman Work
