Free heating, insulation and home upgrades for eligible Tamworth Borough Council households. ECO4, Boiler Upgrade Scheme, GBIS, and LA Flex declared can together deliver £8,000–£25,000 of fully-funded improvements at no cost to the homeowner or tenant.
Predominantly post-war and overspill estate stock; LA Flex declared.
The Tamworth Borough Council housing landscape is medium-priority for ECO4 retrofit work. The combination of 65% pre-1980 housing stock and 13% household fuel poverty creates medium demand for funded retrofit interventions.
