We also spoke to @carbon.coop about their pilot scheme in Levenshulme - they're showing how we could retrofit street by street, rather than house by house. (This photo is of one of the properties they've retrofitted - each of the houses now has a jazzy new colour scheme).

A great article from @manchestermill.bsky.social about the state of retrofit in the area, including a great profile of our collective retrofit scheme in Levenshulme.
