Medway council runs a good solar panel scheme with Kent County Council to bulk buy solar panels for homes in Medway. However, the current schemes have no provisions for an affordable loan. To deliver a 'Zero carbon' Medway, which is the indicated strategy in the Local Plan, current homes must be better insulated. It will also benefit Medway residents energy cost. The Council's commitment to address Climate Emergency needs a provision to use s106 / CIL from new developments to provide the seed money for a fund which can provide affordable loans for Medway residents.
