CIH RESPONDS TO HOUSING CUTS
Responding to the Chancellor’s announcements today on the reductions to social housing budget, the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) warned that cuts to public investment in housing over four years could see some of the most vulnerable people shouldering a disproportionate burden of the government’s deficit reduction measures. CIH Chief Executive Sarah Webb said: “Although we are pleased to see spending held for the Supported People programme, Disabled Facilities Grant and homelessness services, the cut to the new building programme down to £4.4 billion - will have a major impact on how we deliver enough homes that people can afford to live in.” More   Website

Hardwater scale – limescale – is damaging and reducing the efficiency of customers’ appliances by up to 12% - now, as we speak.

The SESI from Salamander, works by flushing the hard salts through the system. The unit is non-magnetic, requires no chemicals, is non-polluting and maintenance free. More   Website
