EDEN householders living in fuel poverty are being urged by the district council to apply for cash under the government's new Green Deal Home Improvement Fund. Eighty-three per cent of wards in Eden show higher levels of fuel poverty than the national average of 10 per cent fuel poor. The fund will pay up to £5,600 to households to help with the cost of installing energy saving measures such as solid wall insulation, double glazing, boilers, cavity wall and floor insulation.
