COLD HOMES COST LIVES

Jess Lee

Since 2013, MORE than 70,000 people have died because of cold, damp homes.

Greenpeace is calling for a national retrofit insulation programme funded to the tune of £6bn a year to tackle the health crisis and make homes warmer, more efficient and cheaper to heat, and urging Labour to reinstate its pledge to spend £6bn a year on energy efficiency.

What happened to the mayor’s 'Retrofit Revolution' ?

City Hall Green, Zack Polanski highlighted this pressing issue in a very detailed report last autumn.

Jess Lee and the Greens are campaigning for warm homes and community spaces fit for use. Jess has experience of both domestic and community retrofit projects.

Jess said "Renters, home-owners and community groups need spaces that are comfortable in both cold and hot weather."

Jess is offering to work with the mayor to create a living knowledge bank of best practice to help owners and builders get their projects right.
