24,000 homes too cold for 'decent' living: MPs.
(From Bristol Evening Post)
MORE than 24,000 homes in and around Bristol will still be cold and damp in 2010, despite a Government pledge to end the scandal, MPs have claimed.
Bristol City Council has 15,800 poorly-insulated houses, according to a report from a Parliamentary group.
There are 3,168 in the Bath and North East Somerset district, 2,734 in South Gloucestershire and another 2,309 in North Somerset.
According to the all-party warm homes group, these homes are not of a high enough standard to safeguard the health of residents.
And MPs have said that unless they are brought up to scratch, the Prime Minister will break his promise that all properties will be "decent" by the end of the decade.
Now the group is planning to force amendments to the Housing Bill that will toughen the law and bring all homes up to the top insulation levels.
