Extra £500m of taxpayers' money to be poured into fraud-hit green homes scheme
Thousands of families are dealing with problems including damp, mould and faulty heating systems due to poor workmanship carried out by ECO4 installers
Almost £500m in taxpayer funding is being quietly pumped into a failed green scheme linked to fraud and shoddy workmanship...
At least £165m is believed to have been fraudulently claimed by cowboy firms under ECO4, which has provided grants for insulation, heat pumps and solar panels since 2022.
The i Paper has revealed how companies were able to milk money out of the scheme by forging signatures and lying on forms.
Companies as far away as Pakistan were able to sign off on building projects under the system, which has been criticisied [sic] for its lack of regulatory oversight.

Mind you, many mould problems are caused by the residents failing to ventilate the property properly. I speak from experience on this point.
Tory Wets, Labour Damps, perhaps there's a theme?
dearieme - yes, a relative of ours is a retired surveyor and he always stresses that houses have to be adequately ventilated, they can't be sealed boxes.
DJ - ah yes, perhaps there is a theme because they are all swamp creatures, or at best a bit swampy.
