We are the Warm Front
Channel: Fuel Poverty Action
Date: 2016-05-09

Fuel Poverty Action marched backwards down Whitehall yesterday with hundreds of other activists to demand that the Government stop going backwards on climate change.

Despite fuel poverty running rife the Government slashed the Warm Front scheme in 2013, and its impoverished replacement, the Affordable Warmth scheme, has been farmed out to energy suppliers as an "obligation". But it's not in the interests of the Big Six to insulate homes - that would cut into their mighty profit margins!

So people have little recourse to patch up their leaky homes, despite the fact that insulation alleviates fuel poverty, combats climate change and improves our energy security. We demand warm homes for all!
