Derbyshire Dales District Council, GB home recladding project reduces emissions and energy bills
Derbyshire Dales District Council, GB Recladding Project
Eleven Hurst Farms homes received energy-efficient cladding and insulation funded by the council. The remaining properties in the 43-home Hurst Farms community feature cladding and insulation dating to the 1950s. Upgraded insulation and cladding will cut home energy costs by 50% and reduce emissions by 30 tons over the next 20 years. Council officials contracted Westville for the initial phase of this project.

Hurst Farm Regeneration Project - Derbyshire Dales District Council
Derbyshire Dales District Council is proud to announce a successful bid for government funding to work with the community of Hurst Farm Estate in Matlock to build a long term regeneration strategy. We joined forces with Derbyshire Council for Voluntary Services (CVS) Dales Housing/Waterloo Housing and the Friends of Hurst Farm to make the successful bid to the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). The £100,000 from the Government's Estate Regeneration Fund, has helped us to appoint a regeneration manager to support a two year detailed feasibility study and masterplanning of the 600-home Matlock estate. The District Council has also provided an additional £21,525 from its Revenue Grants Unapplied Reserve to fund the strategy.
Energy boost for Hurst Farm homes - Derbyshire Dales District Council
£100,000 funding from Derbyshire Dales District Council has transformed a number of "non-traditional" homes at Matlock's Hurst Farm. Re-cladding work on 11 of the privately-owned 1950s' homes is dramatically improving the energy efficiency of the properties, saving on energy bills and reducing CO2 emissions. The Council funding came from government grants - and installer Westville has also attracted additional government funding.
