However you're thinking about voting tomorrow, reducing climate change and reversing biodiversity loss offers something for everyone.

ELECTION- CANDIDATES' VIEWS ON HOME HEATING
We asked our constituency candidates the following:-
How will your party support home retrofit (insulation and other energy saving measures) to ensure that heating is affordable for all?

DOUGLAS LUMSDEN (CONSERVATIVE) simply referred us to the party's manifesto-
https://www.scottishconservatives.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Web-SCUP-Manifesto-2026.pdf pages 41 & 46.
Key issues
-guarantee households will not be forced to make energy efficient upgrades.
-end the requirement that forbids new builds being heated by a boiler.
-protect funding for energy efficiency upgrades but transfer money spent on on heat pumps towards building homes.
-drop the 2045 net zero target and any related policies that are imposing costs on households

DAVID EVANS (LIBERAL DEMOCRAT) noted both the challenge of climate change and the cost of living. He stated that the Liberal Democrats will:

-launch an emergency insulation programme with special attention to the areas furthest behind.
-introduce a Fairer Heating Bill, accelerating the rollout of smart climate-friendly heating systems.
-invest in low-carbon heat networks
-promote alternative financial models for retrofitting.
