Teignbridge Council backs Reheat Britain campaign, and might even set up local scheme!

Teignbridge Council has unanimously agreed to support the Reheat Britain campaign, to such an extent it is seeking external funding to run a local boiler scrappage scheme, if national government won’t back the national one.

Reheat Britain, which was inspired by the government’s car scrappage scheme, is a campaign to create a boiler scrappage scheme where the replacement of uneconomical, wasteful boilers can be carried out with a subsidy, thereby sustaining the industry, cutting fuel bills and fighting climate change.
