As London’s leaky homes barrel through another winter, Zack Polanski AM proposed and passed a motion with unanimous support calling on London’s Mayor to prioritise training workers in the skills needed to quickly, safely, and expertly upgrade homes across London.
The motion also asks the Mayor to explore all potential sources of income that could be put toward such repairs, including a call for the Government to provide ongoing, unrestricted funding.
Green Party London Assembly Member Zack Polanski said:
“Retrofitting is a triple win: it creates good green jobs, lowers emissions, and reduces bills.
“For years, I have challenged the Mayor on our failure to train Londoners to insulate our own homes.
“I’m delighted that the assembly passed my motion unanimously – but now we need action from the Mayor. I look forward to seeing a real funding commitment from the Mayor to tackle the climate and economic crisis in our city.”
