I don’t think #ECO4 was responsibly managed by the energy companies…that was largely due to the #Tories leaving them to their own devices.
But the #retrofit work cannot overnight be picked up by other schemes.
#DESNZ thinks it can suddenly offer a tonne of money to local authorities and housing associations (previously linked to ECO4) with a ridiculous short window to spend it.
#Labour are showing they have no idea how to manage large scale projects and budgets.

So what have I learnt from my trip to the Big Smoke today….
Well, the external wall insulation scandal that led to #ECO4 getting cancelled was genuine. The failures were serious and very widespread in the industry.
Do contractors accept this? Nope. They are furious and think the #retrofit industry is facing another collapse.
My hot take. Many contractors and the energy companies had this coming. Social housing retrofit schemes praised for their rigour and compliance - their way is the future
