Details of any meetings held and/or forthcoming:

The last meeting was held on 5 April at Hucknall, when Karen Lond stepped down as Chair. The next regional meeting is being scheduled for the autumn - Friday 15 September. The meeting is likely to be held at City Hall, in Leicester.

The region is now being sponsored by A&M Energy Solutions.

Details of any other events held and/or forthcoming:

There was a NEA fuel poverty forum on 14 July, where Ellipse Energy talked about the statement of intent and flexible eligibility. It was well attended by LAs from the region and was promoted by ALEO East Midlands too.

There is also the NEA annual conference in Nottingham in September.

Details of any current projects:

We have tried to collate a list of HECA reports submitted from the region. So far 24 reports have been submitted out of 34 reporting LAs. This is 10 down compared to 2015.

We have received a letter from BEIS acknowledging our response to the Bonfield review.

Any other comments, e.g. issues or barriers:

We are still waiting for a new chair for the region.
