Local Ward Councillors Andrew Scopes, Gohar Almass and Annie Maloney have welcomed funding for the replacement of the heat interface units, which draw on the local district heating network for heating and hot water in Cottingley Heights and Towers high-rise flats.
The existing units in these blocks are approaching the end of their lifecycle, and funding has been secured through the Heat Network Efficiency Scheme to carry out the replacement of these units prior to failure to ensure the residents of these blocks continue to have access to hot water and warm homes.
Councillor Andrew Scopes, (Labour, Beeston and Holbeck) said:
“My ward colleagues, Cllrs Gohar Almass and Annie Maloney, and I are pleased to hear that this funding has been secured for the replacement of these units.
“The replacement of these units will ensure the residents of these blocks have a reliable source of low cost and low carbon heating and hot water, thanks to the Leeds district heating network”.
