Small investment in home improvement could bring £10 billion boost, say think tanks

Spending on home improvements such as insulation could bring a huge benefit to the safety of people’s homes and the Treasury’s bottom line, two think tanks have said

The amount is less than a third of the £1.9 billion handed back to the Treasury in July by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities because it could not find housing projects to spend it on. The think tanks said 3.5 million homes in England posed a serious threat to their occupants’ health because of trip hazards, lack of adequate facilities, and dangerous levels of cold and damp.
