Absolutely. Neighbourhood health improves where there are fewer fumes in the estate. It puts more money in people's pockets. As for the schemes overall, has the focus shifted to increasing the energy rating of existing B and C homes to A or B2? Have we moved away from bringing the Fs and the Gs up one or two steps? I am asking about those in really low energy-rated households, who typically tend to be pensioners. Has there been a shift away from helping them, and towards trying to bring homes from B to A, or from C to B?
