A £20m home insulation scheme which was controversially
cancelled in Nottingham has restarted. Changes to the Energy Companies Obligation led to British

going ahead after months of campaigning. British Gas said the decision followed
extensive talks with the housing association Nottingham City Homes. About 2,000
people living in council-owned and privately-owned homes in Clifton signed up
to the scheme only to be disappointed in January when British Gas announced it
could no longer afford to provide funding. Read more on the BBC website.
