yep. currently we need 1700 new homes a day to make up the backlog in time for those born this year to have reasonable housing.
and thats not taking into account the 80 year old hovels that are past their service life and need knocked down and replaced.
What the Government do arent it? Announce a scheme that sounds good on paper, but lacks detail until someone does the maths
I hate when the media says vague things like, “say critics”. Critic’s could be a globally revered expert, or it could be (and let’s face it, it probably is) some tramp off the street who was a few pennies short of a meal.
Same for other things like study finds, MP says, 1 in 10 people…, and others
I have a new build home.
I found missing insulation in the first 2 years.
I have been fighting for 2 years since, they have so far refused to acknowledge or inspect.
Huge areas uninsulated, against plan.
We won’t meet any targets if they can get away with this.
Insulation is just so important to save paying for wasted energy. I’m sure there is an economically possible way to insulate all houses in a more reasonable time period. Insulated homes save everyone money and lead to better health outcomes..
Remember when you all lost your mind because some people where protesting on a motor way asking for proper home insulation? I remember.
Do you think a proper insulation plan would be saving you money right now on heating your homes?
I really feel like we ask for it in this country.. we like moaning and we love paying through the nose for stuff.

That seems as good a reason as any to start insulating right away.
*Insulates homes for “muh environment” (and to give a juicy gov contract to a buddy who works in construction).*
*Homes become full of mould due to poor airflow, impacting the health of residents and risking the lives of those with asthma.*

Ah yes, the continuing benefits of Camerons decision to [cut the “Green crap”](https://www.theguardian.com/money/2022/mar/19/david-cameron-green-crap-energy-prices)
