You’ve asked a very valid question. If you visit http://www.thegreendealhub.co.uk you’ll find a load of info. on The Green Deal, services, home improvements, training etc. Hope this helps – it’s good to get a view of it all there is to know in one place.

It’s generally people of this age or older who are most aware of the threat of climate change and want to do something about it. You seem to think everyone fifty and older is as selfish as you and if they don’t see making a profit in their lifetime, they aren’t interested. Actually, most will be leaving their houses to their children who will benefit directly, if benefitting society and homo sapiens generally doesn’t move them. Your attitude that unless it benefits you financially and directly you aren’t interested. Doesn’t strike you as selfish Anne?

I am in contact with a lot of potential Green Deal businesses who would benefit from some clear answers now on issues such as deemed to comply. I think the way the MCS scheme has played out left some businesses sceptical although this seems to be finding it’s feet again, especially in light of the relationship between Green Deal and FiT’s.

Further govt. promotion surrounding Green Deal would be good, we need to protect small and sole trader businesses and ensure there are as few barriers to entry as possible whilst delivering a good level of service in order to give the Green Deal the kick start it will need come January.
