LONDON Mayor Boris Johnson has been criticised for not protecting his flagship climate change programme to insulate 1.2 million homes across the capital.
The London Development Agency was due to pump £1.1m between last year and 2012 to roll out the RE:NEW programme to 200,000 homes across London, including in Bexley.
And the aim was to insulate 1.2 million homes by 2015.
But the government has axed all the agency’s schemes not contractually committed, which includes the RE:NEW money, according to Green Party London Assembly member Darren Johnson.
He claims all the funding could be lost if Mr Johnson does not claw it back from the Treasury.
Mr Johnson added: “People who have already benefited from the programme are saving an average of £173 a year.”
