Episode Details

Lancaster West Estate is finally getting the major upgrades it’s long been promised—after Grenfell, residents waited years for action. A $74 million boost will transform 367 homes with triple-glazed windows, insulation, balcony repairs, and upgraded fire safety, all part of a broader plan to make the estate carbon neutral by 2030. Originally budgeted at $118 million in 2018, the project now costs over $240 million, with the council still seeking more government support. Residents helped shape the design and are hopeful, but demand continues for full estate renewal. Funding comes from loans, grants, and housing funds, with a new heat network launching in 2027. Three more years of work ahead—but progress is finally happening.
