The fight against Fuel Poverty is vital to the
well being of all of South Ayrshire’s residents and is
a challenge that the Council is proud to address in this strategy.
As well as making houses more comfortable and affordable to
heat, eradicating this problem is key in combating poverty, improving
the health of residents, ensuring quality affordable accommodation
and improving the sustainability of South Ayrshire in terms of
the environment, the economy and social inclusion.
This is not something we can do alone and success is dependent
on other agencies and individuals understanding the issues and
making the connections to bring together their wide and varied
expertise to develop the solutions we need. I call on those professionals
from health, housing, welfare and energy and the public to join
with us to remove this scourge, which has no place in a modern
society.
