The local LibDem party web-site has a piece about our manifesto policy to encourage householders to improve the energy usage of their homes.

I would like to go further and give incentives to both house-builders and landlords, both large and small, to do the same.

Now that "co-ownership" is not a dirty word any more, there is also scope for a scheme in Wales like the Manchester City Council's in England, but with an ecological bias.
