The council retrofitted houses in Churchfield. I was born there so I know what I am talking about. It was supposed to do the whole estate, just like the Minister said. It ran out of money so it cut it back and then it ran out of money again. It ended up doing 30-odd houses in Churchfield Avenue. I was born in Churchfield Avenue above a shop there, so I know exactly what I am talking about. The plan was to do the whole of Churchfield and the council ended up doing 36 houses on Churchfield Avenue. If the Minister thinks that is a retrofitting programme, it is a joke.
