Future Homes focus: What the new Building Regulations mean
New homes and buildings across England, and some existing ones, must now cut their carbon emissions by 30%.
Two new Building Regulations came into force on 15 June 2022. Both are a step towards the UK Government’s Future Homes Standard in 2025, which aims to make property more energy efficient. The changes are supported by £6.6 million of associated investment. Additionally, two existing regulations have been updated.
The new rules, first announced at the end of 2021, have seen the Federation of Master Builders (FMB) call for clearer guidance, citing poor communication and engagement from Government. FMB’s State of Trade Survey reports that over half (52%) of builders are as yet unprepared, or aware of, the changes to the regulations.
Cheers and celebrations: Marking the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
Over 180 garden parties have been held at Buckingham Palace during the Queen’s reign, attended by over 1.5 million people. The Platinum Jubilee was high time for us all to throw a party for Her Majesty.
That was certainly the case for a retirement community under our care in West Yorkshire. As you can see here, a fine day was had by the residents! Gateway supported a special celebratory raffle by donating a luxury hamper. It had to be from Fortnum & Mason, with the purveyor holding two Royal Warrants! More than £300 was raised for good causes, so a round of applause to our wonderful residents!
Did you know…?
As Monarch, the Queen has visited 100 countries, carried out more than 21,000 engagements, given Royal Assent to some 4,000 Acts of Parliament, hosted 112 State Visits, supported 500 organisations as Patron and sent over 300,000 congratulatory cards to people celebrating their 100th birthdays.
