Dartford Borough Council has linked up with British Gas and is offering residents a council tax credit when they install insulation in their homes. The first 30 residents will be entitled to a credit worth £65 - paid directly into the council tax account on completion of the work, which will be reduced to £60 after the initial drive. Residents have to install loft or wall insulation through British Gas, which will be also be subsidised.
