The 'Better Homes Yorkshire' programme involves the collaboration of several partners such as Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP), the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and nine Local Authorities in the Leeds City Region.
Each will contribute resources to provide an energy offer to homes that includes new boilers, central heating systems, loft insulation, wall insulation and renewable energy systems.

During the first three years, the programme will bring at least £20m of investment into the Leeds City Region alongside the energy efficiency work to reduce energy bills and tackle the fuel poverty issue that sees residents spend a large percentage of household income on gas and electricity.
Willmott Dixon Energy Services is one of two partners that will deliver the efficiency measures, with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority overseeing work. The company will contact eligible households who might want to sign up for the programme's first phase over the next few weeks, with the offer opened up to all home owners and privately renting tenants from Spring.
