CLOSE to £2m will be received from the government to improve energy efficiency in 150 council homes.
The £1.6m from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy is to be formally accepted by cabinet members on April 6.
But ahead of that meeting a memorandum of understanding has been signed and returned to the government department.
Coun Tim Cheetham, cabinet spokesperson for regeneration and culture, said: “We know people are seeing an increase in energy bills at the moment so we’re thrilled to be able to make this investment to help tenants.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
