How to get help in Blackpool
Does Blackpool Council take part in ECO4 Flex?
Blackpool's ECO4 Flex statement of intent is a Cosy Homes in Lancashire document (version 1.1, 30 November 2023) that includes households with a gross income under £31,000. It covers schemes until March 2026, so ask Cosy Homes in Lancashire whether it still takes new cases. Source: Cosy Homes in Lancashire statement of intent for Blackpool (PDF).
Is the Warm Homes: Local Grant available in Blackpool?
Yes. Blackpool Council leads the Lancashire consortium, which GOV.UK lists at £35,324,700, and Cosy Homes in Lancashire delivers it. The council says it is for homes rated EPC D to G where the household gets a qualifying benefit, has an income under £36,000 or lives in an eligible postcode.
