Welcome news that @energygovuk plans to extend the Warm Homes Discount to eligible households on communal electricity/private wire. This includes many heat network consumers, who have previously been denied this energy discount.
BUT...

🎉 It’s Heat Trust’s ninth birthday! Since our scheme’s launch on 25 Nov 2015, we’ve grown from protecting 15,000 heat network consumers to 85,000 today. We’re very proud of how our small non-profit organisation has paved the way for future @ofgem regulation of #heatnetworks.

Well done! Be even better if so-called low emission Euro 6 diesel cars (which are actual pretty high emission) weren’t exempt.
The decision to expand the ULEZ London-wide was a difficult one.
But it was necessary to save lives & reduce the risk of Londoners developing asthma, dementia & other health issues.
After only six months, new data shows it’s working better than expected.theguardian.com/environment/…
More than 90% of new Euro 6 diesels on sale today that don’t meet the EU emission limits on the road are still exempt from low emission zones or #diesel bans in European cities.
These diesels still exceed the nitrogen oxides (NOx) limit by 4 to 5 times.
