Housing association tenants in tears and anger over new heating system.

[HelenaDove]

This HA in an attempt to reduce fuel poverty put in a biomass heating system .


One 80 year old tenant paid £200 in one month to heat her home.

Biomass = processed wood burning. An even bigger eco con than onshore wind and that is saying something.

To find that it is expensive as well adds serious insult.

I also note that housing associations seem a law unto themselves.

I mainly mean the Daily Mirror and The Guardian.

I think you might have missed the shift but the graun and its comments section is more right and alt right, most definately neo liberal, these days

YY JustAnother. A tenant posted about his problems with an HA in the comments section when they did run one of their articles.


They deleted it.

Episode of Steptoe and Son on Drama now called Those Magnificent Men and their Heating Machines.

Tenant post from their fb page.




"So my mum and I thought we'd do a price comparison for a week, surely a one bedroom flat would be cheaper to heat than a two bedroom house, especially with a more economical biomass system in place than a standard gas boiler. I guess not, £30.28 for a one bedroom flat - £10.57 for a two bedroom house!! And Villages wonder why people are angry. This new system has not been set up properly, when are you going to start listening?"
