Summary of workshop:
Housing needs to be both safe and warm. Join Fuel Poverty Action’s public meeting to discuss how to make this a reality.

Full description of workshop:
Following the Grenfell atrocity, many high-rise blocks have had their cladding and insulation removed, leaving thousands exposed to illness and death from cold. Last winter over 11,000 people died from cold homes. Like deaths from fire due to shoddy building standards and unaccountable public and private landlords, deaths from cold in this rich country are a shocking and unacceptable tragedy. Residents on many housing estates, new and old, are fighting for insulation - but it has to be safe!

At the same time, more and more housing estates are being fitted with district heating networks. Communal heating could save both money and carbon but in practice it is unregulated and often done badly, leaving many residents cold and out of pocket. And without thorough inspection, pipes can be left with gaps around them that provide thoroughfares for fire and smoke.

This meeting will be a great opportunity to discuss what residents are demanding, and exchange ideas and experiences with housing activists, experts and political decision-makers.
