Cllr Robin Currie, inset, is urging people to make use of the scheme ahead of energy price rises
Residents of Argyll and Bute are being given the opportunity to make their homes more energy efficient free of charge.
The council has received over £2million of funding from the Scottish Government’s Energy Efficient Scotland: Area Based Scheme.
The programme can offer grants of between £8,000 and £21,000 per household to help people make a range of improvements to their properties, such as wall and underfloor insulation.
Councillor Robin Currie, policy lead for housing, said: “Fuel poverty is a real concern and, with heating costs expected to rise even further in October, I would urge people to take advantage of this scheme while it is available and get in touch to see how it could benefit them.”
