• a fully funded injection into the capital programme of £80K (from the overall £125K), tied to linked authority to spend of that money on priority projects to help tackle fuel poverty across the city; and,
• a one-off revenue based funding exercise of £45K (from the balance of the released £125K), where the money is to be used on a tree planting scheme and also, a project with a low carbon/fuel poverty focus in social housing.
