Appendix A PRIORITY AREA 3 – Energy use LINK TO OTHER STRATEGIES: Policy 9 – East Midlands Regional Housing Strategy Action Plan – Eastern Sub Region Corporate Priority – work with partners to deliver affordable housing and endeavour to provide decent homes for vulnerable people. EVIDENCE: It is not known how many vulnerable households occupy non-decent dwellings; however, the ODPM probability indicator suggests 1,409. The Council intends to develop a methodology for identifying and tackling this issue, making use of Regional Investment Strategy funding made available. Through the economic development function the Council works with a number of partners with a long-term aim of maximising high employment and finding ways to raise average wage levels. Because of the rural nature of the district a considerable proportion of the population does not receive a supply of mains gas and other sources of heat such as oil, solid fuel or electric heating can be relatively expensive to use. For those on average local incomes high fuel costs impact on disposable income and also make it difficult for some people to keep warm. This is a particular concern for older and vulnerable residents of the district. it is estimated that there are 3,190 (9%) households in fuel poverty. The Council intends to work on the development of an affordable warmth policy in combination with other agencies and the voluntary sector. This policy will reduce the impact of high energy costs particularly on those on low incomes. The Council also intends to consider longer term solutions to reduce energy costs by focusing on demand and exploring renewable sources of energy.
