Miatta Fahnbulleh promises devolution of Warm Homes Plan to Cambridgeshire
What happened
Miatta Fahnbulleh committed to devolving the Warm Homes Plan for Cambridgeshire on October 12, 2026. This promise follows a previous commitment on September 28, 2026, to give local government the power to invest billions in the plan. Currently, despite councils bidding for £1.7 billion for the 2025-28 period, only £500 million has been distributed.

Why it matters
The wider Warm Homes scheme comprises £4.4 billion in promised government grants, with £3.9 billion remaining unallocated. This devolution aims to address high public demand for home energy upgrades, which has caused schemes in locations like Cambridgeshire to restrict access or close to new applicants.
