As a direct outcome of these improvements, each household is estimated to enjoy savings of approximately £540 per year. The collective annual carbon savings are an impressive 83.7 tonnes, underscoring the project's significant environmental impact.
This successful venture was made possible through a collaborative effort between Westville, Amber Valley Borough Council, and Futures Housing Group. The project was executed with the support of grant funding awarded by the Government through the Local Authority Delivery programme.

He, alongside David Arkle, Head of Housing and Growth, and Sean Stevenson, Managing Director of Westville, emphasised the positive collaborative effort that led to the transformation of the energy efficiency of homes.
Councillor Allwood stated: "It is great to receive further recognition for what has been a really positive collaborative effort to transform the energy efficiency of homes." David Arkle and Sean Stevenson echoed his sentiments, emphasising the impact of the project on both individual households and the broader community."
