Executive investing almost £700,000 on heating schemes in North Antrim homes
Commenting on the work, Mairead Myles Davey, Ballymoney District Manager said:
“This is a major boost for tenants living in these rural areas of North Antrim, both in my Ballymoney District and in neighbouring Ballycastle District. The work, being carried out in two schemes, is replacing solid fuel heating with more efficient oil heating systems. As a responsible landlord and as the Home Energy Conservation Authority for Northern Ireland, the Housing Executive aims to make homes as comfortable and as energy efficient as possible. Good housing also makes a valuable contribution to sustaining rural communities, a key strand of the Housing Executive’s rural policy, and this work demonstrates our continuing commitment to this goal.
