Summary
Nottingham City Homes (NCH), the arms-length company that looks after the councils social housing stock, will be maintaining the District Heating system in almost three thousand homes across Nottingham as of the 1 October.

Maintenance of the entire District Heating system is currently outsourced to a private company, but from 1 October, NCH will be maintaining the parts of the system that supply its homes in St Ann’s, Sneinton, and the Victoria Centre Flats.
Delroy Beverley, Director of Construction, Repairs and Maintenance Services at NCH, said: “The acquisition of this new contract will provide our existing heating engineers with opportunities to acquire new skills.
