In April power company N.Power signed a contract with Nottingham City Council to provide £950,000 under the CESP scheme towards exterior wall cladding of properties on the Stonebridge Estate. However home owners still had to make a contribution of £6,550 if they wanted the cladding work done to their own properties, while tenants of Nottingham City Homes are having the work carried out FREE of charge.
Since then local councillors & managers at Nottingham City Council have worked very hard to obtain additional funding to assist home owners.
At the next full meeting of Nottingham City Council on 9th September an urgent decision taken by local St Ann’s councillor Dave Liversidge on 25th July is to be agreed in full.
Councillor David Liversidge, who is the portfolio holder for adults, housing and the community, agreed to provide City Council funds of £99,000 to enable home owners to join the scheme by the August deadline, by reducing the amount home owners would have to contribute for the wall cladding.
Today the average cost of external wall cladding for home owners is just £2,170
