  • A Profile of Fuel Poverty in Tees and Durham LASP Region and Member Districts
    A Profile of Fuel Poverty in Tees and Durham LASP Region and Member Districts William Baker, Ian Preston & Graham Starling Report to Tees and Durham LASP March 2003 Centre for Sustainable Energy The CREATE Centre Smeaton Road Bristol BS1 6XN Tel: 0117 929 9950 Fax: 0117 929 9114 Em ail : i [email protected] Web: www.cse.org.uk Registered charity no.298740 PROFILE OF FUEL POVERTY IN TEES & DURHAM EX ECUTIV E S UMM ARY • This report describes the distribution of fuel poverty in the Tees & Durham Local Authority Support Project (LASP) area and the constituent districts. • The fuel poverty profiles are based on the Bristol University/Centre for Sustainable Energy’s fuel poverty indicator. The indicator, developed with funding from electricity supplier SWEB, is based on a statistical model that uses 1991 Census and 1996 English House Condition Survey data. • CSE plans to update the indicator in the near future by repeating the modelling work with 2001 Census and 2001 English House Condition data. The new data should be available in early 2004 on CSE’s website. • The average level of fuel poverty in Tees and Durham is 25%, i.e. one in four households live in fuel poverty. This is slightly higher than the English average of 23%. • The incidence of fuel poverty in Tees and Durham is highly polarised between wards with extremely high levels and wards with relatively low levels of fuel poverty. The range of scores in the LASP region is 39% (from 7% to 46%). This is close to the range for the whole of England at 45%.
