I'm proud to have joined the Common Lot in #Norwich. This year's #musical #play, The Great Estate, tells the history of Mile Cross, the first purpose built social housing estate in the #UK, now 100 years old. Written by the Common Lot after researching local history. #Songs and #socialism, celebrating social housing, #Thatcher bashing included. What more could you ask for? #MX100
Built to #Passivhaus standards, Goldsmith Street’s low-energy approach offers a pioneering approach to the housing #crisis
Even on the coldest day of the winter so far, tenants of a pioneering housing scheme say they do not need to turn on their heating. A blast of Arctic air has brought a dusting of snow to the Goldsmith Street housing scheme in Norwich, but inside “it’s like summer”, according to Jayed Abdas Samad, 32, a Just Eat delivery rider.
At a time of health fears for more than 3 million households struggling to pay for heating, Jayed and his neighbours can provide a glimpse of how much better it would be if the UK’s homes were properly insulated and ventilated.
