THOUSANDS of homes could benefit from a £60million fund aimed at cutting fuel poverty, Housing Minister Margaret Burgess said.
The cash, part of the Home Energy Efficiency Programme, will be used to improve homes by fitting measures such as solid wall, cavity or loft insulation.
Councils will each receive a share of £42m from the fund for this work, with the remaining £18m made available to local authorities to develop large-scale schemes.
