Sep 2009: Kevin and the Parliament House Stunt
The GBR knows that we need to spread the word among the political classes about the need for eco-refurb to the UK’s homes. ‘The House that Kevin built’ was constructed in the gardens of the Houses of Parliament and loads of MPs and media turned up to help insulate the house. All three main political party spokespeople on this issue turned up to help.
The GBR campaign ran from 2009 to 2012 and ended with the passing of the green deal legislation.
Here are our successes
The campaign was set up three years ago with the ultimate aim of making it easier for owners to eco-refurb their homes. And to a massive extent we achieved just that. The Green Deal, which is a government policy which will enables all of us to refurb our homes with no upfront costs is a game changer and we are proud to have been a catalyst and indeed on occasion cattle prod to that happening. So now when the landscape of home refurb is changing dramatically, it is time for us to take a back seat too and let the politicking end and the real world Great British Refurb commence.
