Haringey Council has opened consultation on the retrofit of more than 200 street properties in the Coldfall area, as part of the Housing Energy Action Plan.
Agreed by councillors last year, the scheme will see the installation of measures such as external wall and loft insulation as well as double glazed windows and doors to retain heat and reduce energy consumption.
The consultation will give residents the opportunity to give feedback on their homes, with the deadline set for 25 September 2024.
The aim is to reduce each households’ carbon footprint, cut heating bills and ensure the homes are less prone to damp and mould.
The Coldfall scheme is part of the council’s wider programme to gradually retrofit all 15,000 council homes and its mission to become a net zero carbon borough by 2041.
Councillor Sarah Williams, cabinet member for housing and planning, said: “We’re committed to improving the standard of our homes for the benefit of our residents – and reducing Haringey’s carbon footprint. This scheme is important because it delivers on both those ambitions.
“We know that our homes at Coldfall are among our least energy efficient so this scheme has the potential to transform the lives of our residents, reducing their energy bills and making their homes much more comfortable to live in.”
“We want to hear from as many residents as possible so we can deliver the best possible outcome.
“We would also like to thank the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero whose support through the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund, Wave 2.2 is making the Coldfall scheme possible, along with our partners ECD Architects and Baily Garner.”
