A brand new Leeds City Council housing development has welcomed its first tenants this week with two more developments expected to complete in the coming months.

Leeds City Council has launched a new housing strategy which sets out its ambitions for investment in affordable homes and working in partnership in the city to meet housing needs up to 2027.

Leeds City Council has scooped up a prestigious industry award for the success of its flagship low carbon district heating network.

Over a thousand residents living in ‘back-to-back’ council properties in Leeds will benefit from a project which will make their homes warmer and better insulated.

A new service has launched in Leeds which will support some of the city’s most vulnerable women into long-term
accommodation.

Leeds City Council has expanded the support available to help low-income households in some of the city’s coldest homes stay warm for less. 

Senior councillors have approved plans to invest £7.2 million extending the city’s flagship district heating network by 2500 metres so that more buildings can enjoy the benefits of reliable, affordable, and low carbon heating.

630 properties in Leeds will see improvements in their energy and thermal efficiency thanks to a £9.6million grant from the government’s Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund.

Senior councillors will discuss the city’s progress towards becoming a carbon neutral city at a meeting of the council’s executive board next week.

Work has now started on a £40million council housing development which will see the regeneration of Throstle Recreation Ground and the former Middleton Skills Centre in Leeds.

Twenty-six skilled jobs have been created locally in a key green industry as a result of Leeds City Council’s investment in low carbon upgrades earlier this year.
