The Last Stage of the Goole Changing Streets Project is Reached

Work is about to begin on the last stage of the Changing Streets project of Old Goole. The project is giving a number of homes an energy efficient face-lift in 2010.

The scheme was setup by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, and the last phase will help 63 more homes to receive improvements. One of the improvements including fitting new double glazing windows in the homes.

Councillor Jane Evison stated that the scheme has proven very popular for residents around Goole, and has helped to make homes more comfortable and energy efficient, thanks to the fitting of new double glazing.

Evison added that residents have been providing hugely positive feedback, as well as demand for homes in the Old Goole to be added to the scheme. As a result, the scheme was expanded to allow further homes to benefit.

The last phase of the scheme, due to start this month, will see the fitting of uPVC windows and insulation in lofts. These measures will help to keep heat inside the homes, making them more energy efficient and reducing the costs of energy bills.

Other measures will include replacing timber doors with uPVC doors, and adding insulating render to the outside of some properties. The next stage will involve work on areas in Swinefleet Road, and includes loft insulation.
