Yesterday we launched the delivery plan for Warmer Homes London, a new Mayor of @london.gov.uk/London Councils partnership that’ll upgrade 1000s of homes.

Great to hear from @metecoban92.bsky.social & @graciemaew.bsky.social about how it will make homes greener, healthier & more affordable to heat.
