Council house EPC ratings & MEES enforcement
Dear Telford and Wrekin Council,
Please treat this as an Freedom of Information/Environmental Information Regulations request.
I would like information about your council’s homes and MEES enforcements in relation to climate action for the Council Climate Action Scorecards. This information may be held by a housing department or similar.
In particular, please supply me with information relating to the following questions:
a) What is the energy efficiency of the council's homes (managed or owned by the council)? Please provide either a distribution table with the number of buildings for each EPC rating or the percentage of the council’s homes that have received an EPC rating of C or above.
b) What is the number of investigations, enforcement notices and enforcement actions that the council did, related to MEES (Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards) in the 2021/22 financial year.
Where data is available separately for each statistic please provide separately. If only some information is available, please give me that information.
I would prefer to receive information in a machine readable format, such as CSV files for data, where possible.
I look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Yours faithfully,
Hannah Jewell, Climate Emergency UK
