A BLOCK of flats has been revamped in a £1.95m decarbonisation project that could save money on residents' energy bills this winter. Plymouth Community Homes (PCH) residents living in Stoke set to benefit from the work carried out to improve the building's energy efficiency and overall feel.
PCH secured £270,000 Wave 1 Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) funding as part of the project in partnership with Plymouth City Council for the refurbishment of 24 homes in Alcester Close. The project, which began in August 2022 and completed in September 2024, included replacing windows, alongside ventilation upgrades and drainage improvements.
As well as this, external access was improved, and fencing and balcony improvements were made, and new, energy-efficient insulation installed to the external walls.
