Mayor visits Hunmanby's Hungate Court to witness energy improvements
A £2.2 million project has transformed a 1970s sheltered housing block in Hunmanby.
Hungate Court was visited by York and North Yorkshire's mayor, David Skaith, who saw the changes made through a project led by Beyond Housing.
The project has been backed by £650,000 from the Government's Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund, and conducted in partnership with
Beyond Housing's project involved the installation of 176 energy-saving measures - with energy usage, according to a spokesperson, now down by "around 75,000 kWh annually."
Mr Skaith said: "This £2.2 million investment at Hungate Court delivers warmer and more comfortable homes, while reducing costs for families and contributing to our regional mission to reach net zero by 2034 and become England's first carbon negative region by 2040."
By way of demonstrating the scale of that mission, the mayor also said that "more than a quarter" of homes in York and North Yorkshire were built more than 100 years ago.
