I was delighted to welcome Ed Miliband to Reading, to visit key worker housing at the former Arther Hill Pool site.
The high quality eco homes built by the council for public service workers have very low energy bills and affordable rents, helping people get homes of their own.
Ed, who is the Energy Secretary, described the homes as a good example of what councils can do to provide good quality, warm and affordable social housing.
He recently announced the Government’s Warm Homes Plan, which should take up to a million people out of fuel poverty by 2030.
