Coun Peter Coupland (pictured) said: “The Green Homes Grant has been a huge success across all the Partnership sub-regions, with several of the previously successful applicants reporting an overwhelming positive change to their lives.
“We are delighted that more funding could be secured for this scheme as it means we can further support the residents of Boston, East Lindsey, and South Holland with these incredible changes to their homes and provide them with not only greener lives, but also reduced bills and comfortable homes.
