Raymond Morris, 80, took up a government-funded scheme to make his home in Herefordshire more energy-efficient.
Raymond sleeps with an electric blanket to keep warm at night Rogue contractors have left a pensioner’s home in an ‘unlivable’ state, forcing him to live without hot water for a year. Raymond Morris, 80, took up the government-funded ECO4 scheme to make his home in Newton St Margarets, Herefordshire, more energy-efficient. But the great-great-grandad claims he has now been left to live in freezing conditions after workmen left the job half done.
So I tried contacting the government, Ofgem, Citizens’ Advice and Herefordshire Council but I’ve just been going around in circles.’ Raymond said he doesn’t want the situation he’s been through to happen to anyone else. A spokesperson for TrustMark, which certifies contractors as competent to carry out work funded by the scheme, said it believed all the agreed work scheduled for Raymond’s property had been carried out – which he strenuously denies.
