Healthy Homes Guide
The Healthy Homes Guide is a practical roadmap to making homes in the Avenues warmer, more comfortable to live in, and more affordable to run. It sets out real, achievable improvements that can be tailored to your specific needs and circumstances, and shows how to put the recommendations into practice.
Some of the changes suggested are big and transformative, others are small and ‘DIY’. All have been designed to make a meaningful difference. By following the steps in the guide, you can expect a warmer, healthier home that's free from damp and mould, along with lower energy bills.
Co-designed by local residents, the Council and built environment professionals, the guide is tailored specifically to the Avenues. You can read it below, or access a hard copy at the Queens Park Library.
